Which Chuck to choose?

I have a Talon chuck, a G2 and G3, 1 B2, and two Wood river (Woodcraft) chucks. I have set each one up for a special task.

The Talon(my first chuck) has a set of Jumbo jaws on it. The G3 is my goto for large chunks. One of the Woodriver and the G2, I use with a Jet 1040 and are set with 1X8TPI adapter. All of the other ones are 1-1/4 X 8TPI, for my Nova 1624-44 lathe. Ither than a small manufacturing flaw with one of the Woodrivers, which was taken care of immediately by Woodcraft, I like them all. I also have a vaculm chuck that I use when nothing else will work. I have some misgivings with it, it leaves a pressure marks in the finish. Haven't come up with a solution.

Hope this helps a little.
