My preference for steamed rice is Korean short-grain white rice (sticky-ish). I'd take mixed steamed white rice with barley over brown rice.
However, I do prefer brown rice pasta. I usually buy Tinkyada brown rice pasta, which allows you to cook in boiling water for 2-3 mins, then turn off the stove (with cover/lid on) and let it sit for 18 mins before draining & serving.
In an emergency scenario, such as post-earthquake when utilities are cut and you had to cook on your backyard grill's side burner, this pasta would save you propane & you can still enjoy hot food. The pasta has 3-year shelf life so you can stock up and rotate. The hot water that you drain from the cooked pasta can be used for instant coffee/tea/cocoa, it doesn't have as strong of a "pasta water" flavor. Or just drain into 5 gallon bucket for watering your plants.

We've been eating Haiga rice in our house. It's somewhere in between white rice and brown rice. Tastes like white rice but closer to brown rice in nutrients. This was only available from Tamaki for a while, and it's not cheap at 20.00 for a 15 lb bag when it's on sale (30.00 regularly). Now Nishiki also has Haiga rice for a lower price, but haven't had a chance to try them out yet.
