Mornin Rian, for brickwork i´d buy a cheapo big one (230mm) mate, with the bigger discs you get a decent cutting area and don´t have to keep turning the bricks over to cut through them. As far as the smaller ones are concerned i´d go for for a Metabo 125mm any day. I find with angle grinders you get what you pay for  |

Having spent a good portion of my life cutting/shaping granite worktops on a daily basis the best ones IMO are makita with hitachi a close second.   that drum mounted on the grinder there ^ used to kill cheap grinders just spinning it up to speed!!  |

If you find some very old stock then Metabo used to be Elektra Beckum (at least their woodworking tools were) - I didn't realise they did angle grinders as well but yes there other stuff is good.

I'd go with whatever the granite guy recommends!
Having said that, I bought a 700w 240V AEG grinder brand new in about 1991, it was an extravagance at well over £100 then but it is still going strong. I rebuilt it just before Christmas and cleared out a lot of dust, cleaned all the contacts, fitted a new lead and plug and it is good to go for the next 20 years. Brushes and bearings were fine! Needs a new switch though.
I just googled the new AEG equivalent and they're only £40
