I'm having a difficult time picking between Cherry MX Reds, or Blacks. Which one do you use?

Just trying to see what is a common switch among comp. TF2 players.

Just recently got my first mech so reds at the moment, as soon as I can find somewhere in the UK that sells PCB-mount switches cheap I'm gonna replace the spacebar with a black though - too little resistance for a giant-ass key that I'm constantly resting my thumb on for my tastes.

i used to use an old, over 20 years old Chicony keyboard with non clicky 80gram activation force keys, which are the equivalent of mx greys i think.
sadly the W key doesn't work reliably anymore

Browns because it gives you the mech feel without sounding like fireworks.

browns are rly nice
reds feel weird, like they don't produce a satisfying enough click or something. blacks sound quite similar to reds but i have no experience with them. personally i like how loud and obnoxious blues are but a lot of people don't.
also razer's green switch they have in the blackwidow is pretty good, very clickitty clackity like blues but not overly loud.
