Brooks for sure. I suppose it all depends what you need them for. If you are going to be doing a lot of street running you might want to check out these:

Newton Running - The Science of Motion

They are geared toward that crowd of barefoot runners/people looking for a more natural feeling run than shoes with lots of cushion in the heel. I tried them on out in Boulder and they felt fantastic. They have a ridge at the front of the shoe that helps propel you forward. They are designed for smaller strides which is the "new thing" that really isnt new, and landing more "naturally" than slamming you heel on the ground.

A ton of people had them for the Bolder Boulder.
