From a collecting standpoint CC's are it. The marcas have largely remained the same and they are dated unlike most NC's. NC's it seems that every few weeks a new and exciting brand comes out... only to fade away. It also seems that if a good stick does come out the hype is so huge that the price skyrockets and the quality plummets.

CC's aren't fancy for the most part. You get a very nice stick for 3-4 dollars. Many of the 3 dollars CC's are better than a 10 dollar NC. But the 10 dollar NC is still very nice.
