Mead - what type of bottles (lemmy.world)

Hey all, I have brewed a few meads in the past. I have used capped beer bottles, I have used wine bottles & corks for still mead, and I have most recently used swingtop (flip top, Grolsch-style bottles). All of those seemed to work fine. Do you all have preferences or experiences where one type of bottling works better for you?

I like bottles that don't need special tools to close. So swingtop or even pet (if it is something I will drink soon).
