What sleeves do you guys recommend for graded cards? Do you recommend different ones for the different companies?

I recommend Superior Fit sleeves. They make sleeves for just about every major grading company.

I just ordered 200 BCW sleeves for $10. Never used these but I have used BCW products for all of my other card storage so hopefully I will be just as happy with this product. The packaging says “fits PSA, BGS, and most other”. It may be slightly loose on PSA since they are thinner than BGS but I’m sure it’ll serve it’s purpose.
BCW makes the sort of fit-all for the majority if not all graders. Like Chicago1976 says, if you want or need that perfect fit, then perhaps you should try his reccomendation. The BCW is a little big for PSA, and you will have about a 1/4" or so "fold-over". It works ok if you're not too picky. The sleeve is just a protector from the scratches for me. Some of the cards I have received have this vacuum seal protector kind of thing going on. I really like them. I don't know how they get this graded sleeve cover on and what it cost, but one would think the BCW or SFS product would be cheaper.

Anything that Catches My Attention
I have bought some on eBay successfully. Let me try to find a link
Just got the BCW sleeves today. They fit PSA slabs ok. A little loose side to side. A little tighter fit on Beckett slabs because the slab is thicker. Perfect fit on SGC since SGC is taller and wider. Any other recommendations on tight fitting sleeves for PSA? These will certainly serve their purpose but in the future I’d like something that fits a little tighter. I see the link for the superior fit sleeves it’s just that I like buying from eBay or Amazon, all my payment and shipping information is already there!
I've used both Ultra Pro graded card sleeves and Cardboard Gold perfect fit graded card sleeves. The Cardboard Gold ones are very snug, no movement and the material is a little stiffer. I personally like the Ultra Pro sleeves myself. I like the material they're made from, they have more of a penny sleeve feel to them. I don't think they'll be as snug as you're looking for though. There is some extra space in them.
