Omega makes some nice boar brushes, and you can not go wrong with a Semogue. My personal favorite are the Semogue Owner's club.
Another nice boar not to be overlooked are the Razorock Blondie and Natural Boar brushes. They perform very well, and the price is pretty tough to beat too.

I didn't read the whole thread yet, so this may be a repeat of a previous answer...
In my humble and inexperienced opinion, you simply cannot beat the Razorock boar brush in olive wood handle for $19.99. Extremely soft out of the box, with great backbone. No smell or "funk" like you can get from some natural brushes. Excellent lathering, fantastic scrubby feel, and very easy to work with.
You *might* get a better boar brush if money were no object, but for $20, you simply are not going to find a nicer brush, in my opinion.
I just learned this today, but apparently RazoRock boar brushes are made by Zenith.
