I personally love the jumbo flap for it's versatility- especially in caviar it can very easily be dressed up or down. To me, the jumbo is more classic and iconic... though the Boy is quickly reaching that status too. Boy is gorgeous too though- I think of it as a tougher sort of look with it's sharper edges and thicker chain. 2 different looks and both beautiful. You should try them both on at boutique and see which grabs your attention more.
 
Apples and oranges, imho. One of each ideally haha. I just purchased my first Chanel (though I own a couple from inheritance), and went with a beige jumbo. They hold their value, and I think even if I purchased a boy bag I would still want a classic flap eventually, and would regret not getting one if I wasn't able to later on. I'm not sold on the boy bag either, although I love the boy WOCs.
 
Thanks everyone. So funny how it is pretty even . I love both and already have both just no black. But also no caviar either. I am anxious to see the caviar boy as I haven't seen one in real life . I think both sizes are equally great. The classic is well definitely more classic :)
But, the boy is so versatile for my life as well. I wish I had an easier time choosing just one . I'm such a fool lol
 
Depends what your style is like! Personally I think jumbo classic flap can suit both casual and more formal dressing styles very well. Some days I even wear it with active wear, some people may frown upon that but if I love how it looks, then no one can tell me not to :p
To me the boy is definitely more to the casual side especially for new medium size! Old medium could look more formal, but that's just my opinion :)
Some people may also choose classic flap over boy due to the lack of leather lining in the boy making it less "valuable", but in the end I think what matters is what YOU think matches your aesthetics.

Get what you like best. Please don't get bags because of their "worth". Buy what sings to u most! Not what's more popular...
