I mainly use Phantom simply because they are the easiest to get to for me. I think their best shells are either the Wolfpack double breaks, or the Skyfest Panoramas. Skyfests are large, cylindrical shells, with a nice tail on the way up.

The problem with Phantom is most of their stuff is private labeled goods. For instance, you'll never find a Smoke N Mirrors kit there, because those are made by Brothers. Same type of thing with Excalibur. You have to look a little harder for those. In fact, they can be quite difficult to find.

All in all, I have been happy with the quality of the Phantom products, especially their aerial repeaters. Pyroglyphics and Silver Sonic Warhead are two of my favorites. SSW is really loud.
