Which binder?

I'm looking to get a nice 9 pocket binder. I'm between this one: Choice A
And this one: Choice B
The prices aren't very different. One has a zipper and the other possibly has a little nicer pockets and harder cover, from watching Tolarian Community College's videos.
What do you guys think? Any particular likes or dislikes with either or both of them? Know of a binder you think is better?
Thanks!

I have a Legion 4 pocket and I love it. The pockets are really nice and easy to take cards out of. I also get some compliments on the overall look and feel of the binder. I definitely recommend it.

What are you going to be using this binder for is the main question? Just as a trade binder, then both are acceptable...I prefer the zipper. If you're careful with it, you shouldn't have any catching issues.
If you are using it for long term storage, definitely go with the old 3-ring approach. It allows you to insert new pages wherever necessary. Which is incredibly convenient.

If you are using as just trading, go the zipper. If you intend on referencing/pulling cards out of the binder at home/often, go with the legion.

I'm just going to use it as a trade binder. So it looks like the zipper one is a little more practical and the other has nicer aesthetics/feel. If only the two were combined.
Thanks!

I'm not a fan of zipper binders because they can be a pain to open/close constantly and have the chance to catch on things (not always themself, but just if it's a cluttered environment there might be other stuff nearby. not super likely but can still be an inconvenience). that's a personal preference about them so it may just be entirely irrelevant to you.
