Choosing the best brushes and then keeping them in optimum condition is what my question is about.  

Any advice is welcomed

I run them under hot water, put a bit of detergent in the sink and squish the brush in the detergent until it's clean.

I'll add that Melissa Coppel says that she prefers natural brushes, but I prefer synthetic. My experience with natural brushes is that they shed more than synthetic. My current set is a mid-range ($5-10 a brush) and they're holding up great.

Missed the 'select' 'question - I like the taklon brushes.
