Ok looking to buy a bunch of one color. What brand works the best, last the longest, and where is the most economical to buy
I swear by Dragon Shield. Box of 100 is $9.99. They're durable, never stick and never break. Economical, maybe not so much.

1 Dragon Shield for long term playability
2 Dragon Shiled
3 eBay in bulk
Keep in mind they are expensive though. Ultra Pro Matte sleeves or Pro Matte are also decent and cheaper, but Dragon Shields will last you the longest without a doubt.
in my opinion ultra pro is the best, and they r usually pretty cheap.
What color would you say is the most interchangeable

You can use the box the sleeves come in as a budget deckbox too.
It's more for making decks with some discolored or worn cards

Whatever color you buy bulk in. Mostly all of my decks are in black dragon sleeves, and I use certain cards between decks (so I don't have to buy 3 play sets of {Snapcaster Mage})

Yea that's what I was thinking but I wasn't sure if a certin color gets discolored faster so you can tell the cards

Dudecore is right. In my 10 years of playing the game I have discovered black dragon shields are the way to go. They wont show dirt, last forever and are more affordable in bulk. I have a set that has lasted me 6 years.
Where do you buy them in bulk?

eBay is the best place. I mentioned it in my earlier post.

I'm a sucker for official swag, so I get the Ultra Pro sleeves.
Yeah, I stick with the matte black ultrapro sleeves. I find them much better to shuffle and play with than any of the glossy ones I've seen/used.
Also I have seen some some with fancy designs on the back (not mtg characters) and some of them are almost see thru.
I swap a lot of cards between decks so keeping them all the same is much easier. :)

I agree with the matte black. Excellent.
I hate the ones with the art on them. They feel so sticky and feel really bad to shuffle. The corners also puncture into your skin.
I advise against them.
