If you go to Hobby Lobby or Michaels look at the brushes. They are made out of different materials and the prices vary widely. The white bristle brushes look really neat but they don't seem to hold the paint that well for me. I really like the gold taklon brushes, which coincedentally are about the cheapest. Usually even the store brand works well. I usually use a #4 or a #6 round for general stuff and for very thin lines I like a #1 or #0 . A 1/4 inch flat brush can be useful at times and I also use a smaller Filbert (that is the flat brush with the rounded top.) I have 5, 6 or 7 of the #4 and #6 round brushes that I use with different colors that way I am not constantly rinsing out the paint, wasting a lot of good paint and taking way too much time.
