I use a Tipton rod and I can't say enough good about it. I love this thing.
I previously had a Dewey, and I wasn't a fan. The coating wore off quickly, and it ended up bending. It was my fault it bent as I was trying to use too small of a rod cleaning a muzzle loader, but at the same time my Tipton has taken even more abuse and hasn't broken, and it can't be bent and stay bent. It's not physically possible. The Tipton also doesn't have a coating to wear off, and I also think the handle is much nicer, but that's just a personal preference.
IMO the Tipton blows away the Dewey, and it's what I'd go with.
