Which is better for hanging dresses?

The 30-count non-slip set. Its TPE shoulder grips hold smooth dress fabrics that slide off plain plastic. The 50-pack's notches help with straps but do not grip the shoulder area.

Which holds up longer?

Both are solid polypropylene plastic in the same size, so lifespan is similar. The 50-pack has the stronger review record: 4.7 from 11,465 ratings versus 4.6 from 4,193.

Is the non-slip set worth choosing over 20 extra hangers?

Yes if you hang silky, knit or wide-neck clothes that fall off plain hangers. If your closet is mostly cotton shirts and jeans, the extra 20 hangers in the 50-pack are the better value.

Can I hang pants on both?

Yes. The non-slip set has a dedicated grip on the bottom bar; the 50-pack has a plain bar, so folded pants can slide on smooth plastic.

Which is better for a dorm or first apartment?

The 50-pack. It covers a full closet at once, handles straps and damp laundry, and costs less per hanger.

Do both fit standard closets?

Yes. Both are standard adult size at 9.25 inches long and 40.6 cm wide, so they fit standard rods and closets.
