Depends on how much focus you want on the pinch gloves.  These days we use
pinch gloves for most of the new techniques we create.  Some of the
students in Randy's BVW course also built a cool Spiderman world where they
added a touch surface to the palm of the hand so you could do Spiderman's
web slinging gesture to actually sling a web.
