Hello. After my first brush got deteriorated: https://www.theshavingroom.co.uk/co...-brush-has-shortened.51872/page-2#post-781110, I'm gonna buy a second one. I'm tempted by a synthetic. I was thinking of this one maggardrazors.com: https://www.maggardrazors.com/product/maggard-razors-24mm-synthetic-shaving-brush-black-handle/,
this razorock one from connaughtshaving.com: https://connaughtshaving.com/rrb24.html,
or this razorock one from man-store.ro(A Romanian store): https://man-store.ro/produs/razorock-chrome-sintetic-plissoft-pamatuf/.

Maggard and connaughtshaving both have excellent delivery prices to Romania. What are the best dimensions for a knot and loft? All of the 3 options have 24mm knots. My first and only brush had a 22mm knot, so I figured to go with a larger knot. Any opinions and advice?

It's all very personal but I will say with a 24mm knot I would go for a 54-56mm loft.
It all depends on what kind of feel you want from your brush. P.

Best dimension and knot size will be entirely up to you. Most people get on well with 24mm knots so I'm sure that will serve you fine.

The two RazoRock brushes you listed are the same but with different coloured handles. The RazoRock brushes are made in China and are well regarded by those that use them.

Any of those brushes you've listed will be ok for you.
 
Synthetics are great. As mentioned before by the knowledgable folks here, 24-26mm is perfect. I have a 22mm synthetic that works like a charm. It is a Razorock and I reach for it often because no soak is required and lathers everything from hard soaps to creams very well.
