Using a good pair of Headphones

I use the Sony MDR7506 headphones when tracking. The 7506's have been the mainstay in my studio for some time now. I'm starting to think otherwise about the overall performance of these things. Not saying they're not good phones but are they better than anything else on the market. I see some opt for a pair of AKGs or Sennheisers. Are there anyother good brands that I don't know about?

Picking a Headphone Amp

What do I need to keep in mind when picking a headphone amp? I'm looking for something that allows separate mixes, and not just separate levels of a single stereo mix.

Is headphone impedance important (I know it is in matching live speakers to amps, I figure the same physics apply to headphones)? I am confused by the dizzying variety of impedance levels, and the impact they have.
