Brush Bristles from animal hair aka 'Natural Hairs' (horse, goat, anything) involved cruelty in some form and even though their are pros and cons for both. Considering this is a cruelty-free blog it's kind of obvious I'd pick Synthetic because it's man-made bristles, right? Synthetic Brushes are far more sustainable, come in a wide price range (super cheap to hella expensive) but I have never heard bad things about Synthetic Brushes.
