They sell Ritza thread...it seems that most of leather workers like it

I like it . . . been using it for close to 20 years . . . 

I pretty much exclusively use their 346

There is also Maine thread. I've  been using it for quite a while and like it. 

For light stuff, .020

For holsters etc, .040

Yes. I don't use either of them, but that is what they are for. I use these two sizes of linen from Crazy Crow. I

I have used Tandy's Waxed Nylon Thread SKU 1227 - I like it, I think it's underrated, and a small roll is cheap enough to try

They also sell Ritza, aka Tiger Thread, which is good and popular

I haven't used any of their other threads; I'm afraid the only way to find out is to buy & try for yourself -- but ask them nicely and they might just send you a metre or two of each to try - they can only say no
