I own almost no Sideshow stuff for about 4 reasons, which is no disrespect to people who like Sideshow stuff.
1. I detest clothing on statues. Hate it. That said I would have gotten the most recent SS Red Sonja, it is by far the best IMO and I know it is technically "PF" but not with clothes per se. The reason I didn't is she isn't my favorite character and isn't Frazetta so I only wanted one in my collection and for a long time I considered HH the best but not quite good enough. Then the 35th Anniversary by Dynamite came out and I loved it so I bought that one. If I could sell that I would buy the SS one but they don't bring squat on ebay so I will keep what I have.
2. I also detest articulated statues. So while some amazing likenesses are being done if they are poseable it is a deal breaker for me.
3. I don't really collect any comic book related stuff
4. If there is a movie character related piece the factory paint jobs just don't retain the likeness I need. Even if the prototype is spot on the factory typically isn't. If it is movie related I prefer a kit and then have it pro painted. Just as an example here is my Heisenberg bust by Saul
Did you have any particular SS piece in mind? I like their Perseus but again with the cloth, so no.
