Star is very linty, thick and takes up too much space in the seam which in the end results in inaccurate seams. Just my opinion. Not expecting everyone to do the same.
Superior Threads often has certain colors on sale. Sign up for the newsletter and you can save a good bit of money, shopping the sales. You can also get "sample" spools, inexpensively. It's the same thread but they pick the color for you. It's a great way to try out the different types and I've always received usable colors.
