I'm not a brand loyalist. If brand X makes a disc I like in good plastic, I'll throw it.
What I look for when selecting discs to throw:
Plastic durability. I don't want the disc getting beat up and losing stability quickly.
Disc consistency. Are the flight paths consistent from disc to disc in the same mold?
Ease of replacement. Is a disc replaceable if you lose it?
How well a disc is made. Was any real thought put into the release of a certain mold? Does it work as well or better than other comparable molds?
I think limiting yourself to 1 disc brand is kind of myopic. Every brand will make molds that are unique and perform very well compared to other companies. The only people who really have a reason to be completely brand specific are those who are sponsored by said brand to throw and promote their discs.
