A lot of more recent starter sets have, shall we say, "dubious storage value." FFG and WotC both went cheap. The other components? Top notch.

Makes me think back to the cheap but not quite as flimsy as they looked thin cardstock folded boxes from TSR, some SJG items, and a few others... and how the solid thin cardboard of other SJG, GDW, FASA, FB Inc. and some others feel.

At least FL and C7 have had decent boxes recently.

The Mothership box was good. The Alien starter kit was great. The Pirate Borg box i just got could be added as a brick to a wall. I’ve experienced some pretty shoddy quality too.

Depends on the game and the use of it. I want mixed lineages to mean something, and if a player wants to play one, they'd better have something interesting. As far as the genetics and interactions, I keep it simple. That part I don't care about.

Yes.

But seriously, under certain circumstances, each is preferred.

PDFs: I want this for all the things, so I can use it on my devices. So I guess that would be a preference? Though
Hardcovers: Those books that I will reference a lot and want to stand the test of time and look good on the shelf
Softcovers: For those reference books that are smaller, hardcovers seem overkill, especially for the extra space taken up on the shelf from the cover.
Box Sets: This is the only one I don't have a clear favorite for, though it is nice for games that split their core books into several books, though there usually is more wasted space on the shelves.
