Card savers vs. top loaders?

I was wondering how most of the collectors on here store their cards. I always was a fan of a penny sleeve inside a top loader, but PSA suggests using cardsavers for mailing. I understand using the cardsavers for mailing, but as for storage, I have never been a fan. I feel if you put a card with a slightly frayed corner or an older card that may have slightly rounded corners in a card saver, that the tightness around the card while putting in and taking it out, can cause futher damage to the corners. Am I crazy? Any imput from the more experienced collectors out there?

If it went in Gem mint , it definitely isn't comming out in the same condition .
I prefer the screw down type , though more expensive I feel it is worth it .
Just for the fact that it has to be slid inside , I do not like them .
The binder pages are more loose , but I don't keep them in the binder , they're pinned to the wall .
Edited to Add: I like to use team bags to keep dust and debris out of the top loaders as well.

I was going to make a comment, but I will take the high road here....
For me, Card Savers seem to be comfortably tight... if that makes sense... (not trying to make a pun!)
I have some cards in top loaders too, but I prefer Card Savers. The cards don't shift around as much, especially if you're mailing them, and they take up less space and weigh less.
