There are two things to consider here: Quality and ergonomics.
We can tell you about quality (well, some of us), but only you can decide what feels good in your hand.
I am looking at this GearWrench set, mostly because it has each style that I like/want/need, and because it has the large comfort grips that I like (I have large hands, though).
I have Channellock right now, a 3-piece set that I inherited from my grandfather and a 4-piece set I got on sale, cheap. I hate them; they are awful. The grips are terrible (thin rubber, not shaped well), the design is abysmal (cross-hatching on needlenose?!), and the quality is atrocious (uneven jaws, puddled anti-corrosion compound interfering with function, metal burrs sticking out, and the old ones are wobbly and dull, despite not seeing much use).
Needless to say, I would not buy again, and the ones I have will be on craigslist the day my GW set comes in.
I own a single pair of NWS, which are amazing quality, but I really don't know what to do with them; they are the "combination" pliers, trying to be needlenose, cutters and linesman all at the same time... which means that they are kind of useless for any of them.
Which is my complaint about all the Euro brands, like Knipex or Gedore; for single tools, maybe, but they just don't make certain styles of pliers, and they are pricey.
Stanley made a FatMax line of pliers, but they haven't been available for a while; maybe they will be the new Craftsman? (although the early reviews of the new Cman aren't looking great... ;( )
The Doyle line at Harbor Freight is getting pretty good reviews, if you like the thin grips.
