Default Good 3 on a plate classical tuners?

I have a classical build coming and the subject of tuners has come up. What would recommend for a "GOOD" not Great, but good 3 on a plate tuner set?

Schaller's are quite functional and cost effective but certainly no where near the top echelon of tuners.

When in doubt, go Gotoh, lol. Well, that's my moto anyway. The 510 line has bearings on the end of the posts, and are smooth and reliable. Sloans have bearings on both ends of the posts but at a big premium in price. I have 2 sets of Gotoh 510's and move them from guitar to guitar for myself as needed. Love em. Also have a set of the carbon fibre classicals. Haven't made the guitar I want to use them on yet. Lol . Russ

Schaller makes wonderful lightweight tuners with ebony buttons.
