I use R/A, Madeira, and Issacord thread primarilly on my 6 amayas and 4 EMT's 
and Tajima.  We have recently moved more to the Issacord side cause it runs the 
best and I can get the best price ($5.25 a spool no matter the quantity).  I 
really like Madeira and it has the better sheen and runs great but its 
expensive and when you spend $4000.00 a year on thread price does matter but so 
does how it runs.  We used to use R/A mostly and I like it but lately it seems 
some of the colors are not running as well as they used to and they raised 
their prices ($6.75 a spool unless I buy 12 of the same color and then its 
$5.75)  I think the Madeira is around &7-8 a spool.  So long story short, my 
vote is for Issacord with some fill in with R/A, Madeira and Arc cause you will 
always find you need a color that not every company makes so its good to have 
variety.

As far as Mettalic goes R/A or Issacord work great.  Madiera is horrible and I 
have several cones from them I will never use, it breaks and breaks and breaks.

Just my 2 cents
