Which machine needles?



Looking for recommendations for needles for my sewing machine (Brother
PX-330).

I mostly sew webbing, Cordura, and velcro, using size 90 needles and Coates
Aptan thread. Been using Organ brand needles because that's what I happened
to buy when I got started, but they're running out. I find the Organ ones
sometimes just fail to pierce and end up bent. I guess it's because the
needle is starting to blunt and struggles to get through several layers of
tough stuff when there are already a few runs of stitching in the same
place.

I'd like to buy lots of 90s, but would like recommendations for a brand that
is strong and will stay sharp for as long as can be reasonably expected.
