I moved from the New Balance 760 and 860 series to the Brooks Adrenaline series.  After figuring out that I needed to order 1/2 size bigger than my old shoes, I have loved their performance.  They're as stable as the New Balance, but feel softer on the feet an appear to last longer.  I'm easily getting 6 months of running out of the Brooks, whereas my New Balance shoes tended to last only 4-6 months.
