Is it better to get the presidential 1$ coin collection through the Franklin mint, or the US Mint?

I am new to coin colecting and was wondering if the deal through the Franklin mint is actually as good as it sounds or if it is better to just get the coins through the US mint. I have heard that it is best to get proofs. The Franklin mint gold plates the coins (and platinum plates the Kennedy and Reagan dollars).

My parents got me the state quarter colection through the Franklin Mint, and it has a nice display and they are all encased and good quality. But I do not know if the Franklin mint is selling the 'investment grade coins' or if it is better to just go with the US mint and buy the proofs and/or uncirculated coins.

I am most interested in future value.

Lol, on your name.

It shouldn't effect future value, and is more about ease of accessiblity, I believe.
