All time I have always been a fan of the Koho look. As far as modern equipment goes, I am definitely head over heels in love with theWarrior Ritual line, with major props to the Brians Sub Zero gear.

Hmm. It's a tie betwen Vaughn and Bauer. Back in the day I was a big fan of Koho. I miss those pads....

Looking at my gear, the majority of it is RBK :) Not saying it's my favorite since I haven't had many opportunities to try different brands, but it's the one brand I'm rocking the most lol
Brians and Vaughn, Bauer sticks
Brians light weight E-Foam. Bauer for the vertex cowling in there light skates.Warrior for the Montreal Sticks. Hackva for the masks. Reebok is the Most Overrated by a Mile.
I disagree with this but to each his own.Originally Posted by Puckstopshere
Reebok and Brian's are my favorites. I have mostly Reebok, Bauer mask and C/A and old CCM breezers. Still looking for my favorite stick maker as I've had bad luck with Bauer, reebok, ccm, Sherwood.

Nobody understands the position who hasn't played it. Hockey is a team game, but for a goalie, it's more like an individual sport. - John Garrett

I won't go so far as to saying that Reebok is the most overrated, but I've been through a fair share of Reebok gear in my time getting back into hockey, and I must say, that I haven't been particularly fond about any that I used.
Companies I have used throughout my career:
Brian's
D&R
Cooper
Ferland
Forrester
Bayard
Mitchell
Vaughn
Bauer
Heaton
Brown
Sher-Wood
Simmons
Itech
Masks:
Cooper SK 2000 with Hasek Cage
Vic Rhino
Itech Helmet (don't remember the model) with flat faced Bauer cage.
Edge
Eddy
Olie
Currently wearing a Sportmask Mage(original)
Sticks:
Sher-Wood - Hextall, Thibault, Theodore, Brodeur composite
Cooper - Healy, some other chunk of Oak
Vic - Richter, Hrudey, Fitzpatrick
Christian - Moog curtis curve, Beaupre, Toronto
Brian's - Diamond, Beast, Thief composite, Pro Stock
Warrior - Emery, Swagger
Koho - Roy, Kolzig, Giguere
Lousiville - Burke
Heaton - Brodeur, Mettler
Itech - Tugnutt, some college goalie, Dafoe
BUT my hands down, ALL-TIME FAVORITE is BRIAN'S. This is why I was so excited when Brian's agreed, five years ago to sponsor Mind The Net Goaltending. I was a huge Brian's fan long before they were a sponsor and the gear has only gotten better and better (I think my next set will be Pro Stocks or Sub-Zeros some time within the next two years).
