I've used them all and because of their own formulas I have never had luck matching one brand to another brand. This is a regional paint company with paint quality that I compare to BM & SW. Rather than chasing all over town to match it I gave up and went in a different color direction. They made up another gallon as I did not know what location it originally came from. They told me that even between stores of the same company, their machines can be calibrated just enough to make a difference between one location to another. Went to another location which was closer and asked them about why the difference. I got home and found that the colors in the cans looked different (looked ok in the store). The original can had the formula so no big deal, right? WRONG. For convenience I went to the same company but at a different location. I recently moved into a house that I needed to get another gallon of paint that the previous owner used. You can see my attached pictured, the blue/grey is the proper color, the green is what happened to areas that were slightly thicker and had longer to dry (were talking minutes apart) They're system did not warn them that the paint could not hold that much tint. They tinted the paint with more color then the paint could hold and the colors separated while drying. They have BM colors in their systems but I had a horrible experience with this. If you are dead set on a BM color, then have them match the Swatch. I would highly suggest you find a SW color. In that case you should go with a SW paint (Pro Classic is always great). Now if you are painting kitchen cabinets and doors, BM does not really make a product that is durable for high traffic areas. BM colors are by far superior to any other paint on the market. That tiny little difference that people are talking about that (won't matter) makes all the difference in the world.
If you are painting walls/ceilings you should really go with a true Benjamin Moore paint if you are picking a BM color.
