I use cymbals that sound good. That's it. Find what you like and use them. I use Sabian 14" Paragon hats, 20" Sabian rock ride (great ping), a 16" Sabian AA mediumTHIN (sounds awesome), 18" Sabian XS20 medium thin, an 18" AAX china, an 11" Max splash and 2 Zil Bels.
It's all in your mic placement and engineer, mixing and mastering.
Here's a track from my bands newest release, I think they cymbals sound great.
