I noticed in one picture you have a couple of the Bourns chokes and the other you have Coilcraft. Which have you come to prefer and why? I haven’t decided which to order yet. Thanks!
Just on my phone now and can't work out for the life of me how to reply...
I'd been working on the logic of Coilcraft for signal / lower power draw, Bourns for amps (rightly or wrongly). Having a bit of a search back I probably got that feeling from this or similar to this post:

The Coilcraft are unbeatable for low power devices, signal in particular. The Bourns is the same as a Triad so it is always easy to get and won a listening try out. It seems to be the most invisible for any potentially bad impact on amplifiers. If you put an amplifier on too small of a CMC it will limit dynamics despite what you think the rating vs power usage is, and the Bourns have yet to be reported for that even with a good bit of power.
There are large, sometimes double in price, CMC's with slightly more common mode noise reduction but they have no counter parts for swapping in the same size layout. The Bourne/Triad can be used at 17/20A instead of just one or the other. Fit, cost, and use is pretty good.
