Which proof Silver Eagle should go into a "standard" set? 2018-W, 2018-S, or both?

I believe this is the first year that proof Silver Eagles from two different mints are being offered as stand-alone options. The "W" maintains continuity with the immediately previous stand-alone proofs, but other mints including "S" have also served this purpose in the past. Will stand-alone proofs from two (or more) mints will become the "new normal"?

If you collect cents, do you just keep the Philly, or do you keep all three mints?
Both will go into my collection. Then too, the 2017-S went into my collection as well.
If both sell well, you can bet both will be the norm. If they sell really well, then watch them start coming out from Philly and Denver, too. (Look at the S-Mint business strike quarters. Were they necessary? No. But they're still being produced...)
Since they are singles outside of sets, both
Listed on the Mint website? 2018-S ASE?

If they really wanted to do something unique for the 30th, they should have fired up a press at CC or New Orleans...
Both, I have a hole in my dansco for it

If it's a "type set" it doesn't matter.
I would say both would be needed for a set.... Following up on the idea above.... An ASE with the CC mint mark would blow all Mint sales records out of the water..... they would not be able to keep up with the orders. Flippers would go insane... Cheers, RickO
