First question, face frame hinges or not? Second, quantity? We use Blum exclusively at work for custom cabinets. Our factory made cabinets have Grass as well. I much prefer Blum. They make add on mechanisms that attach to the cabinet and/or the hinge itself.

I have always felt Blum hinges were top of the line hinges and slides. Blum offers a soft close that attach to the some of there hinge. I think that there is one that screws the cabinet wall.

Blum here also. AH Turf is or Woodworkers Hardware for suppliers.
If you don't have a #2 posi-drive screwdriver, order one at the same time.

You can add soft close plungers to doors with self closing hinges w/o a soft close feature. Blum makes them. Or, you can upgrade to soft close hinges. As others have said, Blum are the best, and they make an option for just about every conceivable application. Blum's website will make your eyes water with all the options. WW Hardware has a great selection of Blum's hinges and lots of tech info, too.

Woodworker's Hardware for the supplier, and I like the Blum stuff (a lot).

+ 1 on adding the soft close accessory. Easier and less expensive to changing all the hinges!!

And not having a separate dingus cluttering up the cabinet makes for a nicer look.
