The trombone is one of the most versatile instruments out there. There are so many different brands though and sometimes it is difficult to know which is better than another. Here is my personal opinion of a few major and not so well known brands.
First and foremost is the major brand of all. BACH. This is the standard trombone for pretty much any trombone player. These trombones aren't special in any way in my honest opinion. They simply do the task that the player wants. Sound wise they have a nice balance of overtones. The sound of these trombones is flexible enough to be used for multiple playing situations. This brand should always be an option when considering another trombone to purchase.
The next brand I will discuss is the brand that I suggest and play. CONN. This brand of trombones is great for orchestral and similar playing situations. I play on the Conn 88HSCL. This trombone is not very versatile and can be very difficult to get a nice strong fundamental trombone sound. From most Conn trombones I have heard, they tend to produce a dark sound. The overtones are particularly strong in the lower register of these trombones. If playing in an orchestra, symphony, or group of similar playing, I would highly recommend this brand.
