Skins or 2XU? - During activity or just recovery?

I've been considering some compression tights recently and wondered if anyone favoured one over the other?
Does anyone have experience with using both?
Was considering 3/4 length or would full tights be better?

My cycle shorts (Giordana Tenax) have good compression, as does my tri-suit and I run in addidas Techfit shorts (under baggies).
I found that having the tights clean to wear after is more beneficial than wearing them during but then having to take them off for washing. Definitely notice mornings I haven't worn the magic pyjamas.
For example finish Beaver tri Sat afternoon, leggings on, drive home. Shower, leggings back on. Sleep in leggings. Wear leggings under normal trousers all Sunday. Sleep in leggings. Monday at work - leggings under work trousers. etc. Good job I have 2 pairs

I run in both sets, but mainly use them for recovery after events also, they do make a huge difference.
During the winter I had them on under my work clothes. I was nice and warm standing around at the train station platform at 6am in the morning. Generally though, tend to wear them through til the next morning after a race.
I was getting really tight quads after my runs even after lots of stretching and foam rollering so I thought I'd give these a go.
They've helped loads!
Can't flat them and better than skins
