Lapua is always my go to rifle brass if they make it for my selected calibre. In the UK, it is actually cheaper than buying Remington or Hornady brass - or rather to say that after importing Remington and Hornady brass is too expensive to be considered. Privi Partisan, or PPU, is good brass but needs a bit of work before loading. Sellier and Bellot brass is brittle and breaks after a few loadings, even though I'm only bumping the shoulders back 0.002" to 0.003" and using mild handloads. Federal brass is soft and primer pockets come loose within half a dozen handloads. I have some Lapua brass on 8 loadings with no negative effects yet.
Starline is my go to brass for pistol calibres. I used Remington brass for .357 but found the case walls to be too thick and caused issues when sizing. Magtech brass is terrible; bought 300 .30 carbine cases (I consider .30 carbine a pistol calibre due to non-bottleneck appearance) and all of the flash holes needed deburring. The brass metallurgy was terrible, 5% of the cases ruptured on first firing and another 5% split at the case neck. This was the only brand available to me at the time. Starline brass has worked amazingly well in my .357 and .38 special loadings. I mostly shoot gallery range loads (i.e. 158gr lead and small charge of pistol powder) and the only time I scrap a piece of brass is if I've stepped on it inadvertently .
