Cutting in is faster and looks cleaner. Might need to water your paint down a bit to do it.
Google up some videos on how to do it, it's really not hard.
This. It takes practice, and its not something easily explained or shown for that matter but is way faster and you can cut a perfectly straight line with any sized brush once you learn it. Back when I was painting for a living the biggest thing I had to get across the new hires is to only dip the tip of the brush maybe 1/2" in the paint, slap it on the side of the Can a couple times, no scraping on the rim, then knock the initial excess off by doing a couple strokes on the wall before you start trying to draw a line. Ohh and hold the brush like a pencil you're drawing a line not clubbing baby seals.

And for a quality brush try Purdy. I like the blue bristle ones in a 3" not sure the actually name/model but any paint store other than Home Depot type places will know what a "blue bristle" is. Expect to pay $30 or so for a descent brush.
