Greetings to all!

Quick question or two for you guys and girls that have used different chisel brands. Which vintage brand is your favorite, and why? I have a mixed lot, Barton, Stanley, Swan, Witherby, Berg, Buck Bros. etc, and would like to get a set of something. Which do you think has the best steel? Most of the work I do is paring, very little chopping, so I guess if you need it narrowed down, which vintage bevel edge bench chisel brand do you prefer?
