Stagg is a Buffalo Trace product in short supply like the line they have serviced for Van Winkle since Stitzel Weller closed.
Blanton's is actually obtainable and is a good single barrel from the very same distillate as Stagg. They age it in a metal sided warehouse that's heated with steam in the winter so they can bring it to market sooner.
It's largely a matter of what you want to pay.
Very good bourbon can be had at the $30 price point from many sources.
You just have to ask yourself if the substantial extra cost of a super premium is worth it to you.
Personally, except for special occasions, I usually select a moderate priced product from a known good producer. I generally insist that it be 86 proof or higher, since I'm no fan of limp whiskey.
