Most common good tint brand?

Can someone recommend me the most common good tint brand to get? Looking for 50% all around except the front. looking to spend $250-$350 (if possible), doesn't really have to be the best tints but something that will last me 3+ years, and it's mostly for cosmetic look.

I also heard that some people that got the UV tints are having problem with the dimming sensor. Is that true?

Edit: leaning toward Hybrid tints. Will I regret it? lol
Thanks.

I've always had good experiences with Suntek CXP line of films. Not super expensive but great quality.

I have aways done 25% (one of the only brands that offers a not too light and not too dark tint). It was $350 if I recall correctly.

For what you want, Suntek dyed carbon films should suffice. Be careful to not get the Metal tints as they interfere with RF. Llumar is another popular brand, but they are usually a few dollars more than Suntek, but still in your price range.

Thanks guys. I think I am leaning more toward suntek cxp vs llumar ctx.
I've read that one would give a little green hue and the other would give a little aqua hue to the tint color. Is that true? I don't like those green/blue hue. How about the 3M brand? Is the price comparable to Suntek/llumar?
Also will suntek cxp and llumar ctx block any signals?
