I sew with the C&C all the time -- it and Superior are my go to piecing threads -- and quilting threads. When I can get RA or Aurifil at 50% off, I buy it. My favorite metalic is madeira -- it has tons of colors that I can use to add a little bling.
The Floriani rep said that no matter what brand if you turn the spool of metalics upside down when you sew you won't have any problems with breakage. You could always try.
