Cakes or tubes will work. It depends on personal preference. Any professional brand (vs cheaper paints) across the board will do - in the end you will be saving money because the pigment load is higher and therefore you will need less paint to mix colors and make an impact. Recommended brands include: Winsor and Newton (Professional Grade), M Graham, Van Gogh, Schminke, Sennelier, and Daniel Smith.
