I have a two year old pair of Converse Run-N-Refs, a year old pair of NB 609's, and this year I bought a pair of Riddell shoes for $19.50 off EBAY. Normally I wouldn't buy a shoe this way, but the price was so good that I had to take a chance. I've only tried them on so far, but they feel good around the house. Of course running up and down the court is a whole other matter.
As for my favorites, I would have to say it is the NB so far. I loved the Converse for the first 1/2 season I owned them, but they seemed to lose all cushioning in the forefoot very quickly. It got to the point that I can't do more than 2 games in them or else I'll end up hobbling around for a few days due to my sore feet. The NB on the other hand are comfortable from start to finish. I've worked 7 games in them without a problem. Hopefully the Riddell shoes will be like this too.
