I don't find that one particular brand is better than another.  
Personally I find most Gramicci clothes to be pretty comfortable.  
Mountain Hardwear makes some gloves that I like a lot.  I'll wear 
whichever shirt I see that is lightest and wicks best when I'm going 
through the drawer.  REI has a couple varieties of "Powerstretch" 
fleece garments that I really like for cold weather.

If you're wondering if Patagonia or one of the high end makers is worth 
the money, I'd have to say no.
