What colored pencils would be good for shading, texture etc on top of alcohol markers?

PRODUCT

I color those cute bold coloring pages and I use alcouol markers for them. I also want alcohol markers to remain as my main medium for this, but I’ve seen people use colored pencils for a few details like adding to the shading or adding texture or something. But I’m sooo overwhelmed with what pencils I should get😩 I know lots of people use polychromos, prismacolor, kalour or I’ve also seen the ohuhu colored pencils. Can anyone give feedback these brands’ pencils if you’ve used them before? I’m also very much open to other recs, these are just a few of the brands I’ve seen people use!

Are there any that look particularly good/prettier than others or any that are easier to use?? Idk I’d just like a recommendation and/or some pros and cons I think.
