Had to choose between butter and shortening for pie crusts last weekend

I was making 6 pies for a family dinner and couldn't decide which fat to use. I went with half butter half shortening for the first time instead of my usual all-butter recipe. The crust came out flaky but still held its shape way better than when I use just butter. Did you guys find a ratio that works every time or do you stick with one fat?

@jordan305 I get that but half and half gave me the flakiest crust ever for pot pies.

Nah, all butter or bust honestly. Butter just tastes way better.
