Think @ruckus007 and @pfra make good points about each glove feel individual to the goalie wearing them. You just like a given glove model or break from a given company and who cares what it's supposed to be. I felt okay using a Bauer 1S and I have never been comfortable in a 600 or T5500

However, when you talk to the manufactures, your lists above are NOT inline with how they are designed.

Supreme (1S & 2S) = 600 = Vaughn T5500 / SLR family = Baseball glove

Vapor (2X and 1X) = 590 - Bauer even uses 60 deg in their product literature = VE8 1 Piece

Brian's does their own thing with 35 and 45 deg breaks. I think that GNetik is between 580 and 590 and that Optik / SZ is between 590 and 600. Brian's probably the most matter of opinion of any brand

I would agree with how you and the manufacturers match the gloves.

The only thing I wanted to mention is, that the 1X and 2X are not completely the same and with playing mostly the 580 in the past, I see certain features in the 2X.

Picked up my custom 2X set yesterday.

Mods: Powerlite (2S) stiffness, Square Knee-Block, Removable Knee Wing, HAL Strap, Skate-Lace Pocket, Colors (Navy, Royal, White, Sportgold)

10 Weeks is a nice turnaround time in Switzerland.

I personally think with gloves, to simply try it on. Just relying on break angles do not always provide accurate hand feel. 

CCM 590 = Vaughn VE8 1 piece = Genetik = Bauer 2S

CCM600 = Vaughn PVE/VE8 2 piece/SLR (a bit modified)

CCM 580 = Brian's Subzero = Bauer 1X/2X. 

Warrior doesn't really count as I don't notice THAT much of a difference when switching liners since the glove itself is still the same. 

NOTE: This is just what I feel when I try them out. REsults may vary.

To get a feel based second opinion

Agree: 

CCM 580 = Brian's Subzero = Bauer 1X/2X. 

Don't Agree:

CCM 590 = Bauer 2S

For me the 2S much closer resembles the CCM 600

Don't know Vaughn enough to comment there.
