Whoa there!
I'm not a Behringer basher--I own some of their gear and am very happy with it--but the question was "what's the BEST brand". While Behringer represent good value for money and pack a lot of feature in for the money, they hardly make the BEST analogue mixers.
I certainly wouldn't describe their pre-amps as "awesome"...more like adequate with a tendency to noise when pushed hard.
I certainly wouldn't discount the Behri if it's what the OP's budget dictates but he shouldn't buy it thinking it's "best".
LOL, I use my console as a preamp so my levels on the board are low, the best brand can mean a 100 things, best for budget? best for quality? best for sound? if money was no object I would have a 60 channel digital 250,000.00 console. but I will never have that option, so I choose what works best for me with what I can afford. I guess it is what pleases you. I love my console, others may hate it.
