All my girls have soft paws now.. but I have a question??

Tilly and Nutmeg went in and did the soft paws today. Tilly and Nutmeg wear medium and Bassett wears large. Anyway, the tech at my vet's office doesn't like soft paws, because she says that the nails can become really irritated and raw, but she met a kitty yesterday with the blue nails and she liked those alot better. My vet only stocks the clear ones, but she noticed that the coloured ones were softer and more pliable, and that they appeared much more comfortable for that cat. For those of you who have used both clear and coloured, what did you like best?
