Default Have I been using the wrong thread?

My sewing machine (2 years old) would break thread every single time I sewed on it. Every 5 minutes. It was horrible. Then about 2 months ago I bought Gutermann's cotton thread in a cone. It has not broken since. Praise!!! But, I was looking on Google to order some more and found out that what I am using is machine quilting thread. I've been using it for piecing. What should I do? Should I try some other brand in a cone? This was the first time I tried a cone and I don't know if it's the cone or the thread or both that made the breakage stop, but I don't know if I should be using quilting thread for piecing. It's working though. I was thinking about trying Masterpiece thread by Superior Threads, cotton cone, in its place. They are $25, so it's a pretty big investment. I can't try a small spool because my machine doesn't like spools, that I do know. Help!!!!
