Default Need reco for Janome machine needles

Janome users, can you tell me what needles your machine tends to favor (and NOT favor)? I've broken the (relatively) expensive Janome brand faster than others, believe it or not. Klasse and Schmetz have performed equally. I won't use Dritz (too cheap). I'd like recommendations. And I could stick with Klasse or Schmetz and just accept the fact that needles break (user error sometimes, fabric error other times, except for Dritz which seemed like factory error??). The Janome is a regular computerized one (DC 1050).

Anyway, I'm ready to purchase a new set and would like to see if there's a consensus. I also own a Brother and a Kenmore (both mechanical). They aren't as needle-picky.
