I've used many different printers over the years, as most of you have. For the most part I have found HP and Epson to be the most Linux friendly (I have not personally used Brother). The printers that have ink tanks rather than heads embedded tend to be problematical as you point out. If you use third-party inks, they will ruin the heads either by leaking or just do not contain the right chemicals. Generally, I can expect an HP ink-jet printer to last longer. My older HP all-in-one on my wife's desk use to have the scanning head get stuck and I'd have to physically drop the printer on its side. Most of our printing at home is via an HP ColorLaserJet 4500N (that I got free). her current all-in-one is used when we want to scan a document, or for a quick print from Windows.
