I'm stuck on my 14" trans flange over 14" 50s K, both paperthin.
But me too.. 70's 14" New Beats... Still sounding nice..

These: http://cymbalutopia.com/www.cymbalutopia.com/16_Dark_Matter_SL_Hi-Hats,_1045g_%26_1440g.html
16" 1045/1440g "Dark Matter Skim Lathed" hats from Craig Lauritsen.
I have two sets that are my " go to " sets. Depends on the situation at hand but It's either my Zildjian A 14" New Beats. Nice crisp sound,perfect when played open or closed. The other set is my '50s / '60s Zildjian A's. Not 100% on the series ( Possibly Light hats from what Zildjian said ) but they have the perfect warm / washy open tone. Great for my thrash band, but also for Jazz and lighter styles. I've had other hats through the years, but these two always stayed.

I love what Craig and also Matt Bettis do. Would love to own some of their work some day.
My holy grail hats appeared to me in dreams for a couple of weeks before showing up across the street at a vintage lighting fixture shop, not even kidding! Very thin old Zildjians, $30.00 for the pair.

Modern set of 14" New Beats for basically everything then.........ahem.......... a 1920's Turk K 15" Top (Poss a crash cym originally) partnered with a cheap 60's 15" Super Zyn bottom hat. Those pair are just sublime for jazz and intimate type music. Dark tissue paper is an understatement.
Paiste "white font/label/logo" 60s Giant Beat 15" hats&later to '71 but "black font/label/logo" with serial numbers 15" hats (which coincidently i've both found&will be buying this friday a matching pair of '73 black label Giant Beat hats)!.Paiste pre-serial&black label 602 15" se hats,
2002 "black label" EXTRA HEAVY/HEAVY/ROCK" 15" hats(which i've also found&will be buying soon! :),
15" black/blue label Paiste 602 extra heavy hats(think Cozy Powell).
