You'll enjoy the Mirka! I'll be using mine for a couple hours tomorrow, such a nice feeling knowing I won't need to do any more cleaning!!
I use the Prodoo-Z sleeves with the Wooster 14" and 9" rollers. Various nap lengths, depending on the surface, but usually a fat one for rolling ceilings, as they hold loads of paint.

Those 14" Arroworthy sleeves fit the 14" Wooster frame as well, so there's plenty of options. They stick out on the end a bit, but work fine.
I've got a load of the 4 - 6.5" Wooster sleeves as well. The Prodoo-z 6.5" is pretty useful, but you'll need a bigger kettle to hold it. Speed Bucket is good, and the Pelican is really useful as well, especially with the rigid liners where you have multiple colours on the go.
I have far too many brushes, but the two main ones I use are the Picasso 2.5" angle cut for cutting in and the Proform Blaze for woodwork. Only tried the Wooster Silver Tip brushes, they are also really good, and they're cheap. I think Screwfix even stock them now.
I have a set of Purdys as well and they are also good.
To be honest, I think with the brushes, a lot of people get carried away with them. The painter's forums change opinion every week on what the best brush is for which type of paint etc. And paint, etc. They're a very fickle bunch! I ended up buying a few to try and have settled on the above as the go to ones.
But I don't think you'd go wrong with a Purdy set, or the two mentioned above.
