I like the versatility of a nickel, dollar, 5 dollar use for live play with $5 $25 $100 chips, then the chips are face value in tourneys. If you should find yourself playing a 3/6 or 2/10 game at home you might want to break down and include dollars in your denoms although (and for better tourney play) your $100, $500, and $1000 can fill that roll (penny for dollar)

I suppose that's preaching to the choir though

However, if you wouldn't play for less than .25 unit - you don't need $5 chips - I just like so many $5 chips in several different sets!
