Here is a short video talking about knee braces and knee pads. It uses some scientific and opinion based data but will get you thinking about your knees while riding.
Here is a link to a Dirt Rider article from back in the day that has some information from Doctors that is still very relevant.

Is there a recommended brace when money is an object? They only recommend the most best and most expensive version.

Our opinion is too look at the level of protection you want then find a brace that fits properly. Price tends to be a reflection of build quality more than anything in our experience. Lots of the mid priced braces do a very good job at protection in our experience. Once into the mid price range quality overall is typically pretty good. Read our individual tests on various braces to get an idea. As we test more we may put a comparison together but this takes a lot of time (testing).

Great advice in that video, i love knee pads when riding my XR650L.
