I have underwires in most of my bras and I don't buy cheap ones either. From time to time I do have 'breakouts' of wires and it's very annoying. I've generally attributed these to poor stitching. A couple of brands I've never had problems with are Oroton and Elle McPherson. Also Bendon are pretty good too. There's a new brand out here called Crystelle. I have one and it's so comfortable and so far no sign of breakages.
