My comments are: use what works for you. If a boars hair brush works for you, awesome. For me, sheepskin works. Maybe ask this question on Autopia and you'll get a more varied set of responses, although if I had to guess the overwhelming majority are going to mirror what I said above.

Edit; funny story. I get a PM over at Autopia, its from a detailer in San Diego who I have a ton of respect for, does excellent work. He says to me that he uses boars hair brushes and loves it; just goes to show if you have the technique down that it will far outweigh the tools you use as long as the tools are high quality. I personally like mitts, but definitely admit they break down very quickly (as few as 10 washes in some cases), so if a boars hair brush works for you, as I mentioned, by all means use one.
