I am in search for an easy kit brew, i've used 2 woodfordes great eastern and both have been disappointing. Can anyone suggest easy, good tasting kits for me to try?
I will be brewing and then kegging - however if its better to bottle i could start doing that!
cheers

Try the better brew range or maybe coopers.
P.s. I prefere bottling, but I brew mostly lager

What do you mean by easy? surely all kits are easy. But if you are looking for a fool proof kit you can't go far wrong with coopers. Just pick your style, buy a kilo of spraymalt to match and you can't go wrong.

+1 for the coopers. I've done two so far and they seem to be fool proof

Most Coopers kits are good but I find their English Bitter a bit lacklustre. I bottled 40 pints of IPA last week and am really looking forward to that.

yeah, another +1 for cooper's, they're a lot harder to get wrong than right.
as for kegging vs bottling. i'd recommend kegging anything you don't want fizzy, and bottling what you do want carbonated - wheat beer, lager, cider, belgium beers etc. kegging definitely suits ales, especially stouts as i'm sure ditch would testify. furthermore, beers condition quicker in kegs so you get better tasting beer quicker.
