I would suppose a mixture, I pretty much do the lot.

Ones I'm using are cheap, and have done me alright - FSA PowerPro, square
taper. Even the set I managed to mash the taper on, when the bolts came
loose mid-ride, no tool to fix (I'd forgotten to tighten them more than hand
tight a couple days before), had to keep on riding ,on them, have
successfully been resurrected with beer can shims, and have seen quite a lot
of use since.

Carrying on about trailside repairs, out of all the 10,000+ miles I did I
only got one puncture on a *long* journey, (and I was only 2 miles away from
home.)

That's all the fun, getting a puncture doing 50mph.
