I'm using both Tamiya and Testor's acrylics.

I prefer the Tamiya all-around.  It hand- and air-brushes very well [for my 
uses...of course, I'm no Mark Gustavson]; I can pour it straight out of the 
bottle into my Testor Pro airbrush and get great results.

I started buying some Testor paints for the wider color selection and for the 
FS compatibility [something I _never_ thought I'd care about].  I find that 
they airbrush really well, but are too thin to give good coverage with a 
brush in one coat.

I haven't used any of the other acrylics, and so can't comment on them.
