Not sure what other brands are good but here is my vote
1. Snipe Pod
2. Stoney Point
3. Mossback
These are the only shooting sticks that I have had any personal experience with, and I like the snipe pod best.
The 2 most important things.
1. Allow you to shoot at any angle ie. if you are standing on a side hill, being able to cant your gun back to a vertical postiion.
2. Be steady and durable.
