What's a good VB with bad audio quality and a bad VB with good audio quality?

Good VB/Bad Audio: Gekiyaku (I can tolerate Kazehiki but she got hit HARD with the dryness of Suuzi’s mic), and Teto (Sakebi, good lord, that was recorded with a 1000+ dollar mic setup and somehow STILL sounds like trash)
Bad VB/Good Audio: Entirely subjective but I’ve never really been a fan of Ritsu despite him having great audio quality

A good VB with bad audio quality would probably be Mine Laru QUERY, Yamine Renri, or Tsukimo Hikaru (An extremely obscure voicebank that I love to use), however on the opposite side, I'd say Kurooto Rokumi, who has high quality audio with a unique accent, however the voicebank itself isn't OTOed, meaning users of the voicebank have to OTO her manually.

Also, I believe Sakebi can sound really good if given the right treatment. It's meant to be a heavy and shouting voicebank used as an extra high pitch for her normal vcv, and it's really good when used that way along with a noise reducing resampler.

I stan Sakebi and Rikimi when used properly. Personally, I appreciate when people don't just limit themselves to using Teto's basic or Sasayaku VCV voicebanks, and utilize a variety of her voicebanks to make her more expressive.

Good VB but Bad audio: Iris CV Japanese has a really good oto but they tend to sound very staticy or like very “radio” sounding. I can say the same for Kasane Teto’s oldest voicebank. I also kinda wish Defoko had a regular human sound instead of having static in her samples.

Bad VB but Good Audio: I think that tbh, there’s this one voicebank I have that has a pretty bad oto but their voice sounds really nice. I’m not gonna say which voicebank because then that’ll just be pointing fingers. I’m pretty sure there are a lot of voicebanks that are like that too though.
