I have the basic GW colours and I get on with them. I also got the new silver necron compound that I don't rate for dry brushing.
I have an airbrush too and it prefers Vallejo model air. From what I gather model air is the same paints thinned down with finer pigments from the game colour range. It is not as large a range but has what I need. If you only brush paint then go for game colour. Vallejo are £2 a bottle vs. GW £2.30, you get more for your money (17ML bottle) and they come in dropper bottles for ease of use.
If you are starting to paint a new project or army I would recommend the move to Vallejo.
I do rate the army painter varnishes. I was so happy with this product. when I first discovered it. A simple silver spray over immortals and a couple of highlights then dipped into the varnish. It leaves a gloss finish but I returned mine back to matt. Warning though. It is messy as hell.
