Maxell UR or Sony HF?

I am maybe a bit biased towards the HF? 
anyways, the ones below are the 1986-87 version which, IMHO, is the best HF ever (i think i tried just any version of HF) and one of the 3-4 very best basic ferrics regardless of the brand (which are all quite on par about performance)... also, I used to regularly buy this version of HF back in the old days when it was current, just this exact kind of 3packs, and I had just loved it.
The only "sad" thing is that the picture below was taken around year 2011 and, at now, almost all of them are gone or just recorded.
These are from a very large batch Tapelike (UK) happened to get back then and which they were selling like 1 pound per cassette... how could I resist in buying a few 30 pcs boxes of these?

Thinking I'll take mine back a few months after I turn 70, Alex. Gonna wait around for the last longevity bonus next fall and hopefully a buyout offer in 2026. Hopefully, the health issues will be behind us by then - if only for a few years. We're both looking at more surgeries this year, though not as serious as last year.
May a God bless you and give you a long healthy life.
As it looks at the moment, retirement is not gonna be before (if) I reach 70 (21 to go). EU is pushing limit further and further. In a mean time, I will try to enjoy recording tapes and learn myself about electronics as much as I can.
After all this crysis in the world I hope to take again a road trip thru Cal, Arizona, Utah and who knows where else. Missing all of those beautiful places you have there in the US.
