I started out with a set of Wallnuts but now I prefer Wild Country Rocks for my most commonly used sizes (gold to black). I think the difference between nut performance is very small, though. For me, it comes down mostly to the kinesthetic pleasure of placing one nut brand over another.
I love my walnuts and peenuts. The latter work well in goofy flared placements.

On the topic of the offset alloys - my largest size is the red and I was wondering how often you guys place the larger grey or blue? I place the red a decent amount, but those other ones seem pretty big for an offset to be used often.
When I was in Yosemite last month, I had a double set of BD stoppers and a full set of Wallnuts. I found myself using the BD stopper way more often, simply because they fit the cracks better on the climbs I was doing. This is nothing earth-shattering, just reaffirmation that the correct nut depends on where and what you climb.

I still own a set of HB offsets (no anodized colors). I use the largest three here in NH constantly...tons of applications for them here in New England in these funky granite cracks. The Wallnuts are my second favorite set of nuts.
