Meinl isn't bad I just feel they don't have a crunchy enough china. Sabian probably makes the best cymbals in the world but I think he gave them up after the trial because the crashes weren't surviving long. Zildjians are a little more durable than that. Imperials are too. No complaints about TRX. I think the Imperials are good and tough but aren't as musically intoxicating as Zildjians and Sabian.
