Default What's the top paint brand/lines now days?

What's the hot ticket for paint now days? It's been about 15 years or so since I've painted a car and I'm in the final stages of bodywork on a FFR MK4 I'm building. Last time I researched I used primarily Dupont chroma base and chroma clear as the had one of the best clears at the time (early 2000's).

So, what's the top 2 or 3 lines now days for a great quality base/clear? Price is not a decision factor. All my internet research thus far is turning up rotten as most forum info I find is 10+ years old. I would like to stay away from the water stuff and stay more old school if possible. I'm using a brand new full down draft booth at a local night/extended education school so facilities box is checked. State and VOC's aren't an issue as I'm not in comifornia.

Final color is solid black. Body filler is mostly Rage ultra, planning on PPG DP90 sealer, followed by a few passes of a 2K primer or some sort, then final base/color.

Recommendations appreciated.
