I'm also planning to build my own eventually. I made the mistake of jumping on a pre-fab and then discovering the rabbit hole, but it's been enough years that I don't feel completely stupid about a new keyboard.
I will say that my current one has reds. I don't like them for coding, for home office work I want blues and I think for versatility I want browns. Luckily, I've got a friend with a tester desk toy :)
I bought the ducky one for my kiddo with blues, they feel good but honestly I can't concentrate with the clicking sound even after putting headphones lol. Yes a tester is a must, I bought the 9 switch cherry mx tester off of Amazon. I might get another one with more brands.

Yeah, if I got blues I'd want to try the O-ring sound dampening thing, but now we've got a real project on our hands.
