As an online training platform, using your own money, which would you go for?

Thanks.

I've used nuggets before, but the cost seems a bit high. Itprotv looks cheaper and may be worth a look on a free trial. I may do the same with pluralsight

Anyone else any thoughts?

I've had a look at Pluralsight in more depth. The courses seem a little all over the place?

If I want to so 70-410, it doesn't look like they're grouped together?

If you do decide on the itprotv route you can get 50% off here:

Thanks for that! Is the premium worth paying for over the standard?

Thanks for this. Is this restricted to certain courses?

Depends on which courses you want to do really. The practice exams are handy and some labs can be. For Microsoft courses you can easily setup your own lab environment in Virtualbox or use the technet labs but it isn't so easy for some other vendors. Also depends what kind of learner you are. I learn best by being hands on but others can learn just by watching the video and reading a course textbook.
I have 2 servers at home, one running vmware and another running hyper-v, plus I have a server at work that I can create a vm or 5 on.
