Needles

I have a question for you:  what kind and brand sewing machine needles do you use?

When I first started sewing, I started purchasing Singer needles because I had a Singer sewing machine.  I didn't know what I was doing and it seemed like a good idea.  Since then, I have continued to purchase those simply because it was what I knew.  I have deviated a couple times with very poor results.  I found that one brand's needles would break very easily, regularly shred my thread, and would lead to much aggravation on my end.  After a spell of the aforementioned aggravation while quilting my last quilt, it made me start to wonder, what needles are other quilters using?
