RE: What makes a high quality plate choke? .... Better yet ....

Thanks for the thoughtful and nicely written response Dave. Much appreciated.

I'm still open to the possibility that the "special sauce" of different houses can complement - or could be better suited to - different core types. Drilling into that, I'm open to the possibility that different techniques (materials, winding methods, erring to the side of more or less inductance...) could be used to attain a more desired performance from different core types... that different core types could benefit from different techniques. I don't know this to be so, but I'm open to the concept.

I like the way you described the "special sauce" and house sound and I very much agree with your main point: "The only way for you to know which one is for you is to experience them all and decide." There is no substitute for trying stuff (though some problem solving can narrow down the choices). I reckon that can get costly though! ;)

Thanks again for taking the time to share. Take care.
