they're both great companies. I actually like laserglow personally as they're closer to me and have amazing customer service. but ultimately they're both great. I'm assuming you want to get a class IIIa in all colors. if that is your eventual goal, then you can get all laserglow products at a slight premium but have that great CS backing them and fast turnaround for issues you may or may not have, or order elsewhere for the common colors.
alternatively, you could make your own.
for the exotic colors such as yellow (589nm), yellow-orange/amber (593.5nm), and light blue (473nm) then you I would hang around the group buys and grab those from CNI at seriously discounted bucks $$$
or if you feel really fancy, you could jump into gas and start collecting class IIIa Helium Neon lasers, as you can see I have a CNI 593.5nm for my pointing, but for my home experiments, I use a HeNe. far better stability and runs as long as i want. and looks cool. but also very expensive
