I have used both Coates and Clark, and Guterman. Have also used some other threads not necessarily meant for hand quilting, and then I use "Thread Heaven" to run them through before using them for quilting. (Like that better than beeswax).

I use YLI hand quilting thread. It's glazed so it doesn't fray quickly, and it doesn't knot and tangle as much as some others. My only complaint is that it doesn't come in some of the colors I'd like use.
