Chinese Synthetic Brushes

Where do you buy these: Alibaba and Banggood?
Yes - all three brushes were from the manufacturer outlets on AliExpress. Arguably, they're probably the biggest brush manufacturers and make the synthetic brushes for many of the Western brands.
Synthetic brushes will be fine.
Debatable - the fibres will be fine and the handles will most likely be fine. The overall package is where it sometimes fails - most notably in the size of the glue bump.
 
I've just remembered that I needed to update this thread.

Of the three brushes I started this thread with, only one remains in the den. That brush is the Yaqi 26mm tuxedo. I sold the Frank Shaving 26mm G4 as it just didn't do it for me. It's not a bad brush at all though. The dscosmetics brush was returned for a refund as I was bitterly disappointed in that brush.

This is a picture of my Frank Shaving 24mm G4. I initially thought the glue bump was a little high on this but it's mellowed in to a brilliant brush. Using it in my shave this morning was a joy. It looks great as well:

So I've had a shave using the DSCosmetic brush and actually really liked it, the knot is quite dense but splays very easily and the fibres are very soft on the face. There is a glue bump but it's not that high on mine and the overall loft of the knot means it isn't unpleasant for me, I'll try and add a picture later showing where the glue bump is.

Glad to hear they're not all like the one I had. You've reminded me that I took a photo of the glue bump for dscosmetics:
