[Aquanet] paint brands?

[patchapin at mindspring.com]

The time has come, I guess, for me to clear some of my taboret, and before I begin on this odious project, I figured I might ask you guys if you have 'favourites' in paint brands.

I know a lot of people are with Winsor & Newton because they started with them, or their student brand Cotman.  I started with Grumbacher and am still partial to some of their paints.

But there are so many companies and some of them I've never tried, or not tried in so long my knowledge is not current, and I'm curious -- me, I like different colours in different brands, but if I had to stick with one, it would probably be Graham or Smith, although I'm really fond of 
some Holbein hues, and then there's the Talens.................. but that might be tainted, as they asked me to 'test' paints for a bit.

Input here please?  Just opinions, is all, something for me to chew over before I decide what I ditch and what I keep?
