What's the best crate for unusuals?

I'm getting 20 Keys soon and I'm either gonna buy an unusual or try an uncrate... I have already uncrated I THINK about 8 regular mann co crates and 3 2013 naughty crates and that's it so far IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY I may have unboxed a few more but back on topic... If I decide I don't want to by an unusual and want to uncrate, what is the best crate for unusuals? Obviously the Naughy Crates are the best for overall profit because of the S.F. Black Box, so I might use 10 on those, but then what about the other 10? Which crates are the best? And please don't say salvaged crates because I'm not spending more than a scrap on any crate.

All crates have the same unusual chance, but robo and halloween crates can give unusuals with robotic/halloween effects. Chances are however you will not unbox an unusual and get something else in the loot list, you should pick crates with good loot to help pay for the keys consumed

Buying keys in hopes of uncrating an unusual is like buying a lottery ticket.

Truth be told, there is no best crate. All crates have a one percent chance of it containing an unusual. The fact that many people unbox them is amazing.

Yeah, all crates have the same 1% chance of dropping a unusual, so really the best choice would be to pick the crates that have the best overall items in them to minimize your loss.

I'd suggest looking at http://www.trade.tf/crates to decide which one to open.
Although naughty crates have valuable strange festives, nice crates have a better overall return rate since a large percentage of the cosmetics in there are worth as much or more as a key.

Differently numbered crates have different things inside.

The best ones are either Salvaged or lower numbered ones. The reason for lower ones are because you can only get first gen. effects, and not the newer effects that cost a lot less, and are cancerous (sorry for anyone who doesn't like that word).
