Frankly I would not list a brand. I make my decissions based on actual products. I am totally willing to switch brands.
However I often end up with products from certain brands.

• flashlights: new ones come from Fenix, Maglites are still in use
• motorcycle helmets: Schuberth, they fit me well and one of their lids saved me from serious head injuries (the lid suffered an impact mark and some abbrassion from sliding, I suffered no injury at all)
• motorcycle pants: Rukka, I suffered a light bruise on my knee with an impact that left a big dent in a fender and destroyed the head light (I found broken glass in my armour)
• foot wear: was Lowa, switched to Haix after Lowa introduced inferior designs (bad rivets)
