I started out playing Paiste cymbals, but back then (and even now) they have a reputation for breaking. I couldn’t afford ’em. I probably don’t hit as hard now but now I only play Sabian so I decided to try out the APX line which is a Pro B8 alloy; I like them but judge for yourself!

Here’s a link to the solid hats on Amazon.
These are great bargains on eBay and other places (if you like them).
