Any advice on whether speed bleeders are reliable for changing brake fluid? If so, which brand is good.
Thanks.

I tried Russell brand brake speed bleeders a couple of years ago. They worked as advertised. They made the job a little easier especially if you don't have a helper to pump the brake for you.
I'm not sure that I would try them again unless the price came down. I'd rather put the money towards a tool that could draw the fluid out (vacuum) using standard bleeders.
Because "aiuser" could, he/she/it opin'd:
If you mean genuine Speed Bleeder brand
-Don (here with a hearty recommendation)
the linked article says pressure bleeders are good but cost $300 - here's one for around $50
Many people are happy with Speed Bleeders "
I personally prefer a pressure bleeder:
I use a cut and clamped bicycle tube, a hose clamp, and a bicycle pump.
I've seen plans for a pressure bleeder on the BMW group using a garden sprayer.
