It's all a matter of personal taste and what feels right to you. I personally like SS Sunridges - the Ton Ltd Edition is the best I have picked up but even their cheap bata like the Supremo and the Premium feel great

Any Kookabura bat is great.

In my opinion the Kookaburra Kahuna (Ponting bat) or the Kookaburra Diablo (Martyn).

In my opinion get a custom made bat, Get what you liek, you choose the blade edge width, length, width, Handle thickness and length, weight, amount of grips protective 'seal' etc.

And if that bat happens to be a kookabura or a gray nicholas, go ahead and buy it.

A bat that is made for you doesn't have to be custom made...

Well, that's your preference. I find that a Gray Nicholas is perfect for me...and a kookabura is also quite comfortable.

Well, the most comfortable bat I have used so far is Gray Nicolls.

The best bats to get are custom made ones like bradbury, fusion, laver & wood etc.

However value for money has to be the pakistan brands - my favorites are AS, CA and MB Malik. They ooze quality and are reasonably priced too.

The best bat to buy is the bat that is perfect for you. The bat that you feel was especially made for you...which could be a custom made bat or a bat from a well known company.
