So, after much deliberation I finally purchased three Harrison Acurix Rods, although still haven't bloody used them 
Anyway, being such an expensive rod I wanted opinions on storage for them.
I have a Daiwa Inifnity Rod Holdall already which I have always used for my older rods, rods that were a lot cheaper than my new ones, but these, over time, in the rod holdall seem to have had slight damage to them or at least I've put it down to the rod holdall, it may not be of course.
So my question, as per the title, would you prefer to put them in a holdall or rod sleeves/straps?

When I got my Torrix rods I bought a Cotswold 3 Rod Trident and a Nash sleeve for the spod rod as I rarely use it so no point in carrying it around all the time. Also put some Trakker Tip Protectors on the rods mainly because of the way I used to have to stuff the rod bag in my smaller van, that set-up is spot on protection wise

I don't use a rod holdall but i did once have an aqua tristar which is a nice compact 3 rod sleeve type offering, thought it was pretty good.
Individual sleeves sound a bit of a faff to be honest, something which i personally try to avoid. I too have a set of Acurix rods, which T.C did you go for?

Cheers Chuffy.
I might get some tip protectors as you did but use my current holdall then. Seems like a pretty safe way to transport them.

Individual rod sleeves for my R1s. Have the sleeves numbered 1 to 3 to correspond with rods as they go on the buzz bars (1 left, 2 middle and 3 right). Keep line clipped from previous sessions so if I go in the same swim the rods are already clipped up ready (if not its easy just to unclip). Spod and Marker rods in other sleeves (labelled S and M). Covers me for all waters I fish.
Club lake - take sleeves 1 and 2 and possibly marker or spod (2 rod limit on water). Tend to do days on this water and often find myself dropping back into a swim if I have been successful previously. Having rods already clipped up means they are back out with minimal fuss.
Syndicate - take sleeves 1, 2 and 3 and possible marker or spod.
All clipped to an Aqua Quiver.
