    Definitely the laminated, I just ordered my 2015 laminated 37.99 postage paid off of ebay. The lamination and spiral binding make it worth it. pages won't tear easily.

    Laminated is nice you don't have to worry about the pages ripping when you throw it because your dispatcher made you mad,lol.

    Yeah but not for $50.
    I usually buy the 1yr old one when the new one comes out.

    The paper atlas will last at least a year, probably 2 years. I like to buy an updated version every year or two anyway

    Yes. Mine is several years old now and due replacement. A paper one wouldn't last a year. Even if you end up using a gps, with the atlas you can get a bigger picture of your route and destination. Not to mention finding those little towns. It's deductable for your taxes too.
