I'm not familiar with the Paasche F brush and didn't see it on dixieart's website.. but all the Badgers you listed are great brushes. The 155 and 360 would be high on the list because of their veratility in covering everything from full coverage painting to detail work. The difference is the 360 can double as a gravity fed airbrush as well as siphon fed which would make it a bit easier to get finer detail if that is your thing...

The 150 looks to be a good brush but I dont own one. One of the key differences is the 155/360 brush uses one needle/nozzle combo for everything and the 150 had 3 different sets. Having said that, the 155/360 only having one needle/nozzle is not a disadvantage. It sprays everything from wide patterns down to fine detail without having to switch. This is similar to a lot of other upper end airbruses out there like the Omni and Iwata brushes.

I do have a 155 which is the sister brush to the 360. (Identical except the 360 can do gravity fed work) and have used it for awhile with great results. My secondary brush is the 175 Badger which I tend to use more for full coverage of the model and with certain brands of acrylics...

These are all siphon fed brushes, have you thought about gravity fed? Easier cleanup and ability to spray at lower pressures (less overspray/better detail) make them a plus. Omni, Badger and Iwata all three make nice gravity fed brushes for about the same cost as the ones you listed.

Yeah the Badger 100LG is an excellent airbrush, have you looked at any T&C omni's or Vega's they are also top quality airbrushes and not to expensive their also made by Badger!
