The "type" of DM screen was never the important issue for me (although the clear inserts is a nice idea). The info that is provided on the screen is what was always my problem. Either half of the info on a screen was great, but then the other half was a complete waste. Or, everything on it was useful, but there was barely anything on it.
The only D&D product I ever bought that really pissed me off was the so called "Deluxe" DM Screen for 3.5. That was the only product I ever wrote a review for because it was so bad, so expensive, and I was so excited to get it. I think I said something like, "The only thing "deluxe" about it is the price." I sure hope my review kept a lot of people from buying it. So I made my own 3.5 DM screen (linked in my sig) and I still use it. There is probably 3 times the amount of useful info on my screen than that damn "Deluxe" piece of garbage.
I'd probably get a clear DM Screen with inserts if I wasn't so fond of my Planescape DM Screen that I use to tape my custom DM Screen information on. The inserts definitely have their advantage.
