Custom lettering is better than a font. If you're going to use a script font, it needs to be an especially good one; they're hard to get right, and most of the free ones are pretty tacky.

But whether you use neat print-like letters or script is an aesthetic decision; aesthetic decisions are, of course, driven by the needs of the specific brand.

T.26 Digital Type Foundry | Fonts : June 2009 Showcase are pretty awesome.

I also like Veer: Products: Type

And while I'm barely familiar with them, Australian Type Foundry - Home of Typeface and Fonts seem to do good work.

And as always... font foundry - Google Search
