How reputable are these brands?

  Very. Two out of the big four producers. But on VS or VSOP level, they are not that different. Great for mixing or if you need quantity. Martell VSOP $71 ($60 something at Costco) is good too, which I prefer to drink neat.

    What do you mix Cognac with? I'm definitely a scotch guy so which would you recommend out of the two?

      Sidecar. Equal parts of Cognac, Cointreau, lemon juice.
      
      I'm a Cognac guy, so I'd buy one each just to stock up. But if I have to choose just one I'd just get the VSOP.
      
      Use a tulip snifter. Glencairn whisky glass is good. One ice cube per nip would be fine as well.

      @doorknob: both actually quite alright neat or/and with a dark chocolate.
