Question thread choice for machine quilting

I went to the Mid-Atlantic quilt show yesterday and bought some Superior thread- 50wt, low lint poly. I got both prewound bobbins and a large spool. There were of course lots of thread vendors, but I have heard in the past that Superior has great thread- so I got some even though I haven't used it before.
I realized last night that I have been using Fil-Tec prewound bobbins, which I like. I am doing an heirloom wedding quilt, and want the best I can get with stitch quality. I will be quilting with a Babylock Ellisimo Gold II.
Should I take back the Superior thread and get a different brand? how have ya'll liked this brand? I want non-beardy but tight stitches, and I read last night that the poly threads don't grip as well when you snip your blocks apart or start/stop FMQ. However, I know if I sew with 100% cotton that I will have tons of lint- at least, I have in the past...
