Too subjective a topic to have any meaningful lists. Painting style, type of paint used and technique you're usage vary wildly.
In my experience army painter brushes are junk. Not bad junk, but I'm never painting anything serious with them. They last for a paint job at most, when taken care of and when you don't they barely last that. I will use them for painting with enamel based washes and bin them afterwards. AP are cheap and cheerful, I recommend them to people just getting into the hobby since they work well enough and their not going to care for brushes properly either way.
Rosemary and co I've had problems with maintaining a tip. They tend to splay over time but aren't as fragile as Army painter is. If I have one in good condition I will paint with it but I don't expect it to last the same way I do W&N brushes. Decent middle ground brushes for people needing something more then AP provide.
Da Vinci I like, they're decent little brushes as long as you remember to never leave them in the water cup. They don't take weight on the tip well and bend heavily to the side if you leave them in the water cup for a few minutes. A phone call or getting distracted while painting and you can lose brushes this way. I have a bad habit of leaving my brushes in cups and have ruined a few of these. I could see these being someone's go to brushes if they liked synthetic over natural hair and wouldn't have any issues recommending them to high tier painters.
W&N is obvious but also it's own kind of meme. They suit my painting style and I always have a size 1 and 2 in service but I don't think they're the go to best brush ever as they're often claimed. Many painters go straight from GW or craft store brushes to W&N and never explore other options. They then tell everyone to do the same and we end up in a circle jerk of inexperience creating more inexperienced people, lacking the experience to recommend brushes. Very good brushes, absolutely the best for a lot of people, just over hyped and a bottle neck at worst.
