Which do you like best? Personally, were I choosing between these 2, I would go with Barbers, simply because I never cared for the look of WLs.
There are some other considerations - easy of getting matching gaffs, or how thin or soft they may be, but you can do a whole lot of magic with either, so for me, it would just boil down to aesthetic pleasure.
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

Both coins are beautiful indeed.
But barbers are my favorite. Todd |

Barbers for me. They are almost all very "soft" coins so in my opinion they are easier and quieter to work, they look a lot like Morgan dollars and they look identical to Barber quarters - other than the size of course. The similarity to Barber quarters and Morgan dollars can make for some interesting shrinking and growing coin effects! Also, the regular (non-gaffed) Barber half dollars are usually less expensive than Walking Liberty half dollars.
All good to me!! Jim |

I prefer walking liberty because barber half is a little bit too thin for me.

I prefer barber halves. Lucky that the coin dealer near me has tons of "scrap" coins for sale. Barber and walking libery halves morgan and peace dollars. Even sells them a little below melt value.

A Dean's set of Barber's looks absolutely perfect. REALLY tough to tell where the gaff is.

I have had the pleasure of seeing and playing around with a barber dean set. I agree with pepka it is very tough to tell where the gaff is. So much so that if your not careful you may loose it yourself.
