Pattern snobbery

I've realised that I'm a pattern snob, that all brands are not the same. I started thinking about it today when I was relieved that I found a Burda kid's pattern that I liked better than a Kwik Sew one. And it wasn't just that the Burda one was more what I wanted, I was relieved I didn't have to buy a pattern from a company that spells quick the way they do. Plus Burda is European - inherently more stylish right? So I started to think about my list of pattern coolness and it goes something like this:

1. Pattern you draft yourself from scratch (you are massively cool and clever)
2. Pattern you draft using instructions (still very cool and clever)
3. Pattern from a foreign book or magazine, like a Japanese one (ooo foreign)
4. Pattern from indie pattern company like Oliver + S (sticking it to the man, go indie!)
5. Pattern from a magazine like Ottobre or Burda Style that you have to trace out and put on seam allowances. (foreign! stylish! different! takes a bit of effort! Might even have to order magazine from Finland!)
6. Pattern from a craft book - Anna Maria Horner, Amy Butler, Betz White etc. (support fellow bloggers and style mavens!)
7. Pattern from an online tutorial or magazine (go the little guy and freebies!)
8. Pattern from Burda (Slightly edgy sometimes, great for kid's patterns, but the fabrics can be a bit weird in pattern illustrations)
9. Pattern from Vogue (they take nice photos and hey, Vogue is a stylish magazine right?)
10. Pattern from McCall's or Simplicity (not very exciting but reliable - like a comfy pair of old trakkies)
11. Pattern from Kwik Sew (same as above plus appalling spelling and even less excitement)

I'm sure I've forgotten a pattern source in there somewhere! So what do you guys think - what order would you put them in?

I've started getting together the patterns for the kid's clothes challenge starting on Monday and one of the projects is making some long-sleeved tshirts out of merino to use as undershirts/layering items. I was going to adjust a tshirt pattern out of an Ottobre magazine - it's a turtleneck and should be easy enough to turn into a scoop-necked style. But today I came across this Burda pattern and got very excited about it:

Long sleeves! Short sleeves! Hoodie! It has it all. Including a really crap review at Pattern Review :( Oh well, I'll check it out thoroughly before I start cutting that's for sure. Further to the pattern snobbery I was slightly loathe to buy it in some ways becasue I felt like I should be using the Ottobre pattern I already had and just altering it (may yet do that if this pattern is as bad as the review suggests though!). Not surprising considering that option would have been #5 on the list, plus a little of #1, up against a lowly #8. On the other hand, ease of construction and flexibility of 4 different styles counts for a lot!
