I use all kinds of hair when I do my roots actually. I like the doll kanekalon a lot but it's expensive and I find the newer human silk kanekalons some of them are getting darned close to that now. Then again I like a bit of texture sometimes in my doll's hair. I will deliberately choose to use coarser hair, the old kind of braiding hair sometimes just for fun. The older saran and nylon doll hair is nice though. I even like mohair sometimes. A lot of the old Genes had really nice hair and they used nylon I think it was. I kind of missed that with the Wu produced dolls. I'm an equal opportunity person when it comes to doll hair though. I use whatever I can get that looks right for the job. Human, doll, I've even been known to cannibalize from other dolls and their wigs to get what I want done. As for Liv wigs vs MT's wigs it depends upon which doll and what wig. The last few, the ones that cost more to buy? They were not bad at all. Those I didn't even have to wash, but the ones that came on the first batch of dolls, not so nice. I have the two toned brown pouf wig, the long blond with pink streaks and a few from the 2nd batch of dolls. They were okay, almost as nice as Liv, and btw, not all Liv wigs are made the same. I've literally bought the same doll several times over and out of 6 of the same doll wig 2 were total crap, 4 were lovely. There's a lot of variance in QC with Spinmaster apparently.
