Multiple Catalogs
In Ubercart you could create a single catalog/menu that contained both products by brand and products by type.
With Drupal Commerce it appears that you would require two catalogs/menus to do this.
I believe it may be possible to tag a single product twice so both taxonomy terms show in the product display.
Would this be safe to assume or am I missing something here.

Try it and report back!
Try it and report back! Essentially, in Drupal Commerce you have the entire power of Drupal to use as you see fit, and using taxonomy as you suggest should work fine.
I have tried it..
It works as two separate menu/catalogs as I thought however if someone can shed some light on whether you can set one up like on the Drupal5/Ubercart site below it would be great.
