What type of stamps would YOU prefer? I prefer bare rubber on the block like Sue. Once in a while if I am feeling industrious with a new, unmounted wood block set, I'll carefully peel off and throw away the sticky foam part and then carefully put the stickers on the bare rubber. And then I'll mount the whole set with ATG tape on clear "cardstock" (it's not actually cardstock - it's those clear sheets of plastic? But it's called "clear cardstock" at stores like Flourishes.org and Papertreyink.com).
This way, I can still read the sentiment with ease while stamping. Also, I'll trim each stamp's rubber REALLY close to the letters for the most accurate placement.
edited to add: but it really all goes back to what YOUR preferences are... If you love using wood or cling I would go with those too!
If I am feeling lazy, I'll just ink up all the words on cardstock and then on the reverse side of the cardstock I'll mount all the sentiments without the stickers.
