I have 4 Iwata's, a Paashe VL, a Richpen Spectra and 2 Peaks.
For me, the Iwata's and the Peaks are interchangeable. Both fine brushes with the Peaks being more affordable.

They are all good brushes, but the best of the bunch might be the Richpen. It has some weight to it and feels good in my hand. It also has a pre-set feature that allows you to set your spray pattern as fine or as heavy as you like.
It also has a removable thumb screw on top for cleaning. I really like that.

For cleaning I use 25% Windex, 25% Simple Green and 50% water.
I mix 1 gallon at a time. I always flush with plain water after cleaning.

For paints, I use them all. I custom mix most of my paints. As Numbskull said "Get a color wheel".

For thinning of thicker paints like Delta Ceramcoat or Golden I use approx. 50% water and 50% liquitex airbrush Medium to get your paints to a milk like consistancy
