.223 Brass - Federal, Winchester, or Remington?

[Powderburner]

I have two .223 bolt action rifles that I reload for, and have accumulated a sizable quantity of brass for them. To keep things simple, I want to load only one brand of brass for each rifle. I have enough of each of the above brands to last me a long time.
I am already reserving Lake City brass for one of the rifles. Of the other three, Winchester, Federal, and Remington, which in your opinion would be best to keep for the other rifle? I am interested in opinions based on ease of reloading, durability, etc.

Federallie IMO is very brittle.
loves to expand early, then cracks....Boo!!!

Otherwise I think they are all pretty close.

Same way with PMC in my experience. Base load of varget and necks were splitting. Loaded some up for my buddy, told him not to bother picking it up.
