For airbrushing I prefer Gunze and Tamiya, though I find Testors Acryl II pretty good, though it doesn't work quite the same way as Gunze and Tamiya.

Depends on the application. For handbrushing like on figures I'm preferring Vallejo, but I'm not big on airbrushing it. Not that it's bad for airbrushing, I just haven't gotten the hang of it.
For airbrushing, I'm liking Gunze Sangyo and Tamiya acrylics. I'll also use the Testor's Acryls if there isn't anything else.
The big thing i'm noticing on acrylics is use a good thinner (either the manufacturers or Liquitex Flow-aid mixed with distilled water), and a retarder (Liquitex Slo-Dri).
