I'm torn between KMC Hyper Mat and Dragon Sleeves Matte, with KMC Perfect fit.
which one's better?
I have Dragon Sleeves matte on my Pauper and Smooth on my Standard. But the shuffle feel is kinda off...

I don't like the smooth ones, they got too dirty and stuck together too much for me. Awkward to shuffle.

The matte sleeves for Dragon Shield are harder than the smooth ones, but they still slide off one another. Which is why i'm looking at KMC.

I try to stay with the same brand when double sleeving. Nine out of ten times you'll be fine with mixing Perfect Fits and Dragon Shields, but you don't want to be that one case. I've double sleeved my EDH and Modern decks in KMC Perfect Fits/Hyper Mattes and have had no reason to regret that decision.

My personal favorite sleeves are the KMC hyper mattes. They have a nice durability and have a great shuffle feel. After that would be the Dragon Shield Mattes. They have a higher durability, but they don't have as smooth of a shuffle feel. They kinda feel more coarse to me. Then regular dragon shields. I have sweaty hands, so anything not matte just doesn't work for me. They have a higher durability than either of the previously mentioned sleeves, but their shuffle feel just isn't anywhere near as good in my opinion. Plus, they get dirty easier.

I haven't used the dragon shield mattes so I don't know good they are, but KMC Hypers plus perfect fits are what I've used on every deck of mine and they are the best for sleeving that I've found. They're made to go together and although I know other people apparently get ones that split a lot, I've never had problems with them.
