Do you prefer Alpha or Maxis Match CC? (Or a combo)?

I have MM hairstyles, clothes (mostly recolors) and a bit of make-up. The only Alpha CC I have in my game are 3 lipsticks for Sims with darker skin tones. Before the August patch of this year there were just too few choices. I think that Alpha CC can look good in Sim modelling shots, but I would not be able to deal with the aesthetic in game.
That's just my opinion though.
