This was discussed at some length recently in alt.sewing.
The net outcome seemed to be whatever one was recommending, another found
reasons to decry it.
Personally, I've always found Gutermann threads to be very good.

I've also used a variety of 'economy' priced threads, and never had any
problems, although some can produce a fair bit of fluff in and around the
mechanism on the m/c. Nothing that an occasional brush out didn't sort
out.
