If you really want the best, go for Winston & Netwon Series 7 brushes. You can not buy those at regular craft stores like Hobby Lobby or Michael's. I brought my set at a local artist shop and they had brushes stored behind the cashier so I had to ask for them.
It is much cheaper to buy online vendors if you really want to save money. I paid $40 for three brushes several months ago which I didn't mind since the artist shop was only five miles away. I love them and I will not ever go back to old & cheaper paintbrushes again.
Hope this helps...
