There are lots of makes that are fine - I have a good winter weight Berghaus jacket, but for all purpose waterproofness we both have a set of the light weight jacket and trousers by Regatta, which we got at Yeomans, though I have seem then in lots of other camping shops. These have served well for over 3 years and are still going strong. They pack really small too. As for other makes, there is a lot to choose from and I can't think of any that you should avoid; it is more a case that some are likely to be over-engineereed for your needs and would therefore be an unecessary expense, I reckon. In a good shop the staff should be able to advise you on what makes are value for money.

The main thing to check for with any waterproof clothing is that the label says it is breathable. Otherwise your body moisture can't escape and you can end up all sticky and damp!
