I don't have a graphics tablet... I bind 2 and 3 to shrink/grow the (vector) brush, and @ and # (shift-2 and shift-3 on my keyboard) to have them grow and shrink more, and $ and % to have them get softer and harder. For most of what I do, I only need the one brush (sometimes I change its shape though). Probably if I had a graphics tablet I'd feel different. When I've wanted to do more "natural" art, the brushes in gimp were all much too tiny to be of any use really -- 50 to 300 pixels in diameter is a useful range for bitmap brushes I think, for making new art that can be printed, e.g. A4/US Letter at 300dpi.
