Skins are such a personal choice, many like the more realistic look and others prefer something a little different. I have skins from many different places, but I prefer mine to look a little more real. I am not a huge fan of Al Vulob, but it does seem like i am in a very small minority at the moment!
Ricielli do some nice skins and they are very well priced too, I have a few of theirs.
Dont forget to do a marketplace search too, there are some great skin designers on there with some very good deals if you look
