The HP LaserJet 4 series was their last good printers. They were discontinued in 1995, and everything from them has been utter shit since. You mentioned you were looking at Brother printers - go for it, they make good printers.

Made good printers. They were one of the last bastions of sanity, but last year that one fell, too:
They pushed firmware updates to block 3rd party toner to most of their printers - which is pretty evil, given that most people purchased Brother devices exactly to avoid that kind of bullshit and nobody expected it from them.
