I've always had HP printers, and while I agree the eink program does have limitations and catches (eg, if you stop the program, your existing carts are disabled immediately, even if there is ink in them) but if you know these things, then it's not a huge deal... just don't be stupid and cancel before you get replacement non-eink carts.
If you don't use eink, there is nothing in the printer that prevents you from using it until it dies. If you use alternative carts, then you could run into issues... I never use non-HP as I find they jam more often than HP branded ink (my parents insist on using non-branded, and run into problems on their printers here and there - not every day, but often enough that it doesn't seem worth it to me).
I've used Epson printers before. They have had issues with paper feeding (sometimes multiple sheets at a time), and have had a few jams even with branded ink. I've also seen these leave black marks on paper from the wheels at times.
In the end, no printer seems "great" but HPs have been good for my needs for decades now... I don't care for some of their practices, but they work.
Never had Brother. Had a few friends with Canons that had even more problems than Epsons did.
