The big question comes up this week when we have shvuos and then shabbos right away meaning we have to wash dishes on yom tov for shabbos (eruv tavshilin allows that), for this type of situation many more will use paper for one of the 2 days. The halacha tells us that if one has to make a choice about clothing for shabbos and yom tov, the nicer clothing should be used on yom tov rather than for shabbos, I wonder if the same would go for the china/paper choice for shabbos and yom tov. Actually this question is only relevant in Israel where the second day is ONLY shabbos not in chutz Laaretz where both days are yom tov so I guess the second day which has BOTH shabbos AND yom tov would be the prefferable choice (if it works out practicaly).
