Some people prefer bowl lathering and others prefer face lathering. I've been doing both for a while and there is no difference in the lather - assuming you're doing both correctly. I find it much easier to add a little water to the bowl as it virtually instantly mixes with all the lather. The same can be done on the face, of course, but not as efficiently.
Different brushes, different soaps/creams - definitely keep experimenting until you find the perfect lather for you. With my water and MdC that takes less than a minute. If you haven't yet, I'd suggest trying some distilled water - pretty cheap stuff. While I've never had to use it (except in my CPAP), I have read that it was a big help for some people with very hard water.
