I have a Britta. It works fine. I have never used any other brand of
water filter pitcher so I can't comment on the others. The filtering
benefits also depend a lot about your local tap water supply.

My tap water comes from an underground aquifer and it runs through my
building's 45 year old pipes. My water supply is heavy in lime content.
My water filter pitcher does a fantastic job of cleaning the water
before I drink it.

You might also look at other water filter options. Check Consumer
Reports. They did a review of different kinds of water filters a while
ago and I doubt that industry has changed much since that report. You
should be able to find the report at your local library or via CR's web
site at http://www.consumerreports.com if you don't mind paying their
nominal subscription fee.
