I like to go with what i think is good for each part, obviously no single brand makes the best product for every equipment type. For e.g., shoes - i would try to go with an actual shoe company such as asics/adidas etc and stay clear of kook/GN/GM shoes. Same thing with bats/pads etc. Why to go with same brand for every item if you know some of the items might not be the best quality or value for money etc.
Based on your stance for footwear, what Softs do you go for? Surely SS or SG in that case?
