Welcome to Geekhack!

A nice collection you have there :)

What switches have you got, and do you have a switch preference?
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Hi Rowdy,
So far the Clears and Greens seem to be my favorites.  When quiet typing is required the Clears seem to satisfy my preference for a stiffer switch.  I tend to keep the WASD 87-key in my laptop bag when travel is needed.

*Updated my sig to give more information.

WASD V2 Blue MX 87-key (Colemak)
WASD Code Clear MX 104-key
Ergodox #1 - Full with Green MX & Granite R1 keycaps - Black aluminum top plate
Ergodox #2 on order - Full with Green MX & looking for keycaps - No top plate

Greens - nice :)  I use those at work and no-one seems to mind the noise (mind you, one of the other guys is using MX blues).

I have not tried clears yet, but they are on my wish list.
