Quite simple: buy what YOU like in the first place, not what other people tell you should like. And do a bit of research regarding any figure you intend to buy.
As a rule of thumb, ignore HT rimlickers. Buy what you like and you'll be happy.
Modding was fun and awesome when figures were $50-$100. Now that they're $200-$300 each (or MORE) I haven't the will nor the patience to spend another dollar getting them to look like what they should right out of the box for that kind of money.
Pay no attention to anyone here.
BUY MEDICOM!
I'm normally a huge HT fan, but when it comes to SW I've frankly preferred most of the recent offerings by Sideshow so far.
Just because the HT figures are ultra-detailed doesn't automatically make them better in my opinion.

Just my opinion, but it's the principle of the matter. You should get what you pay for. And that's become increasingly debatable (see: Sideshow's new Comic Superman 1:6 figure... a $200 item that looks like it should be $80-$90).

Buy what you like, not others.

Sideshow still has its fair share of "rimlickers", too.
But I agree with the consensus: Simply buy what you like (if you feel the price is at least somewhat reasonable). It ultimately doesn't matter which company made it as long as you enjoy it.
