My very favorite thread is YLI. The wooden spools are neat too. I have tried many different hand quilting threads. Though you didn't ask, my favorite needle by far is the Hiroshima Tulip between. They are pricey, but worth it. I found them on Amazon.

I'm not familiar with either YLI or the Hiroshima Tulip between -- will have to check them out sometime.
I have only used two kinds of thread for hand quilting -- Gutermann hand quilting thread and Aurifil 28 wt. The Gutermann is quite wiry, while the Aurifil is very soft. I can't say I really have a preference for one over the other, it just depends which brand has the color I want.

I use primarily Gutterman as it's what is readily available. I will also use C&C and/or the Americana brand sold at JoAnns. All specifically labled as 'hand quilting' thread. As someone else mentioned, I use whatever brand has the color I want.
I use Roxanne betweens, usually size #11 and a Thimblelady thimble.
