Now, I am looking for Jnats all of range ara-to(500-1000) , naka-to(3000-5000) and shiage-to (50000-xx,000)
But I have never knowledge for jnats before.

Anyone can explain me the good point/bas point in each brand of jnats?
And please recommend me to go the right way to buy its.

Where can I buy?

Thank you in advance.
 
I would say Skip the Rough Jnats, I would recommend an Aoto (the really good one), Aizu for mid grit and Uchigumori for polishing. For finishing, Suita all the way!!!
I would take an Aoto over an Aizu, you don't really need an Aizu if you got an Aoto. Otherwise this is a killer combination.
 
A good Aoto cuts fast and they're generally soft/muddy which is nice at that grit in my opinion. After that you'll either want a good suita if you're looking for something fast that will create a good edge or a Uchigumori if you're after a nice finish. Arguably for the best polish there will be more stones in between those two.
 
My jnat setup for now:
Blue aoto < aiwatani < uchi

my advice is try to get an easy to use jnats first (soft/middle range) then slowly advancing to hard/top range
