Best card sleeves for expensive decks

So I've recently acquired the cards for a fairly expensive EDH deck, but I don't feel like using Utlra Pro sleeves cause they can tear pretty easily from my experience with them. What do y'all use for your favorite/expensive decks to protect them?

Dragonshield is what I swear by. They never tear apart, they shuffle easier than other brands, and they're very protective. You can't go wrong with Dragonshield.

Alright thanks for the help. I was planning on double sleeving them too so I'll look into the KMC fitted sleeves as well.

My "expensive" EDH decks (all >$500) are sleeved with either KMC Matts, Dragon Shields, or old Ultra Pros (like 10 years old). I've also got one in Ultra Pro matts that I got used, and I used to have one in Fantasy Flight. I've never had problems with any of them (OK, the Ultra Pro matts are a bit loose, would not recommend for expensive decks, my cheap, for the lulz, deck is in those ones). If you want to double sleeve, I believe the standard is to use KMC perfect fits inside KMC Matt Dark Blues (don't ask me why dark blue, it just is). Make sure to put the opening of the perfect fits in the closed end of the outer sleeve.
Also, we had a thread on sleeves earlier today/yesterday. You can find it here. I made a nice big description of different sleeves on the second page.

i would suggest kmc fitted sleeves inside dragon sleeves.
