Pyrex type measuring cups- any preference?

Even though the open handle ones stack, I prefer the closed handled ones since catching the handle on a sleeve a couple of times and nearly pulling the cup and its ingredients off the counter!

but they tend to be dribble cups when pouring liquid out of them so I use a cheap plastic cup for measuring and pouring cold liquids.

I have a closed handle on the pint cup and an open handle on the 2 quart cup and no preference. They both have dribble spouts.

I do wish I had an old set, which poured without dribbling.

Closed handle and raised markings. I swear those red markings on new stuff are planned obsolescence.

I do, however, return to my old Pyrex cups for hot liquids or microwave use.

I have closed handle and open handle, the big plastic one pictured in a thread above, the tall grippers for salad dressings, plus two smaller, glass one-cup open handle kind. I never got rid of one whose markings have washed off. I guess I sort of collect them. I think I reach for the glass open handle one most often.

One is a 4 cup and the other two are 2 cup. All have open handles which I like because I can stack all three.
