We have used 3 brands:
Behr and it was good - worked fine and covered well. Low splatters. It's about average price, $25 a gallon. It was on sale for a $5 rebate over the weekend so we bought some.
American Traditions at Lowes - loved this brand, same pricing as Behr, covers well and lasts awhile. No 2nd coat needed on anything yet. We have used this primarily as I talked to numerous new home owners that had the best luck with it.
Olympus - used this for 1 color, it worked well too and is cheaper than Behr and American Tradition. It's the cheapest line that Lowes has. No complaints, really. We needed 2 coats but it was a deep merlot color which probably would have taken 2 coats in anything.
I have heard that Behr is the worst paint when doing a red color - but we used it for khaki and it was great. I went with American Tradition for my bright red color =)
