I vote for "the expensive thimble" -- but it's not my money. Ha ha! No, I don't know. Is there any way for you to try it out first? That's what I'd suggest. For example, with ThimbleLady thimbles, you can try out the plastic version first & she guarantees fit on the silver/gold thimbles.
That said, I still mostly seem to prefer the stick-on Poke-a-Dot thimbles to anything else. I can put them on a few different fingers, exactly where I am naturally inclined to push the needle through, rather than having to adjust my finger to where the divets are & it's easy for me to move it whenever I want to. But I'm not a very skilled hand quilter so perhaps as I get better I will feel the need to invest in more quality thimbles.
