I would go with Brooks, Adidas, Nike, or Asics. My brother wears Asics and he loves them. I wear Nike. I don't like running shoes with air pockets or the Nike Shox. They seem to make my feet and legs hurt when the air pockets bust. I've been told that they can mess up your alignment and your running form when they do bust. They don't seem to hold up as nicely as shoes without them.
When I first started running in high school, I had New Balance shoes. I was probably running 5-15 miles a day 6 days a week. The inside of the heels wore out and cut up my heels. The same thing happened to another runner. I haven't had any New Balance shoes since then. It's usually Nikes or Adidas for me. I have inserts for my shoes because I have high arches. Brooks are suppose to be good for your feet though. I had some Adidas trail shoes to replace the New Balance and they were great. I wore Adidas spikes cross country and track races.
Runners World usually has some pretty good reviews about different kinds of shoes like new shoes and trail shoes and racing shoes and street shoes.
