I like these binders best

I like the rubberized hinges for durability. They don't crack like most binders and last longer. I also like the quick spine inserts that come with them as well as the view insert for the cover. They aren't the cheapest but worth the money.
I am a teacher. I use these types of binders because they really hold up to lots of use. I see students with these. Other binders are falling apart by May but these binders still look like new.
I homeschool my children and we all use these binders. I was so glad to see them on sale for 50% off that I bought our binders for next year! I don't remember ever seeing them on sale and they are a bit on the pricey side. Typically I'm holding a baby so the one touch tab to open the rings is a great feature. There is a sleeve in the front where the kids can draw a picture or whatever to personalize their books. There's also a section on the side with a hard plastic window and a tab to write your name so when it's sitting on a shelf you can tell who it belongs to. No one ever picks the same color as there are so many to choose from. The only downfall other than the price is that it can get bulky. There are rubber reinforcements on the edges of the binder that make it a little bigger than a normal binder would be but that's just to add to its durability. If you drop these books they don't break and no papers fall out. I have yet to see a space between the rings. Very durable and perfect for our use at home and at school!
They are almost perfect unfortunately I purchased the binders to be used for organization of our final report documents (to be presented to a client)and the rubber lining parts look a little dirty when smudged :-( Better for things that will be kept in-house and not presented elsewhere.
