I am sure Plisson makes outstanding brushes, and I say this because the quality and workmanship of their razors (Joris) is so outstanding. So if money is no object, I'd probably order a Plisson. If the Plisson was out of the running for some reason, I'd buy a Rooney. My best brush is my Rooney Heritage 3XL and I can't imagine any brush doing a significantly better job than my Rooney.
