LP inner sleeves

I like my inner sleeves sturdy and obviously printed. Not a fan of albums skimping out on the printed inner sleeves.
When I pressed an album, the inner sleeves which was in a heavy paper stock, seems to have caused hairlines/scratches on the discs. Which some complained about, and didn't look too good.
With some albums (e.g. Neil Young) you get a printed inner sleeve included but the disc comes in a separate white sleeve. Which is good for not splitting the seams when shipping obviously, and also to avoid the inner sleeve to scratch the discs. But it puts a dent in the experience of opening up the album for the first time, having an inner sleeve by itself and the disc instead in a separate plain sleeve... Then the printed innersleeve could just be an insert instead...
My Guns N Roses - Lies album is the only album I own that have the nifty solution of a printed inner sleeve with a plastic coating on the inside.
Great solution to keep the discs in great shape. But, the local pressing plant says they can't offer his solution but instead offered to put the disc in a separate transparent plastic sleeve inside the printer inner sleeve, which is one option... But adds to the cost...
Do you know of any other albums with this solution that my GnR Lies album has?
And what are your favorite kind of innersleeves? Do you care if the album only comes in a plain white one? Have you find that inner sleeves scratches the discs/make them smudgy?

But I'm like Brian and replace all my records (or am in the process of) with the rice paper poly inners (Mofi inners are the standard, but pretty much all the knock off ones are the same, just half the price).
Have never seen a polylined printed inner. Would be neat, but again, would like to keep my printed inners pristine.

It did not have the plastic "coating"...
