I'm replacing all my GW paints pots by P3 pots except the metallic that are not good in P3 range. For metallic, when my current GW pots will be empty, I'll replace them by Vallejo metallic that are really good.

The alcohol based, or the water based? The alcohol types are interesting, IMHO.

PUI.

I'll give a try to the alcohol based :)

I use Coat d'arms as well.  Black Tree has a sale 2 or 3 winters ago and the whole line could be purchased for a $1 a pot. I don't have many complaints for them.  That being said, I have gotten a few GW washes and foundation paints, along with a few of the newer GW colors.

I personally don't like Reaper paints, I bought a few awhile back and some were so thick they I couldn't even squeeze them out of the bottles.

I use mostly Polly's S paints, they all are Tactical WWI, WWII etc. colors.  Only use a few G/W ...

Same here. Polly S doesn't have "fantasy" or "sci-fi" colors, but they do have an extensive range of military (and railroad) colors. I also use Tamiya paints. They have some colors I haven't seen with anybody else.

Coat D'Arms user here, though I wish they'd re-release colours that they did for the old Epic paint set (mmmm, Imperial Strike Green!)

The only paint comparison site I could find:
