Brush recommendations?

It seems the type of brush I use makes a big difference. Thus far, I have had the best results with Escoda's Reserva brushes, but I could imagine it being even better, and there are so many different brushes out there. What do people here recommend? I know the cheap brushes always give me terrible results, then I moved on to Model Masters which gave ok results, and now with these Escodas I get good results.

Tamiya brushes are very good.

Airbrush..?? Always gives the best results, but if I do have to use a hand brush Tamiya are my favourite ones..

I airbrush any bigger pieces, but for small ones or detail lines I have better luck with a brush.
