Here is my most useful copy and paste, just in case it may be of some help.
The unofficial universally accepted standard is traditional bag gloves or 12-14oz. super bag gloves for bag work, and 16-18oz. sparring gloves for sparring. Handwraps with both, and the best headgear and mouth piece that you can afford.
Like I said, that is just IMHO, but there are numerous good reasons for those guidelines. Now as far as your questions.
Q: What is the difference between japanese and mexican gloves?
A: I will assume you are talking about Winning vs Cletos. Primarily the padding. The Winning are known for there shock absorbing padding and the Cletos are (I believe) more densely padded or referred to as heavy hitters.
Q: What brand is better Title or Everlast or Triumph or Windy or Cletos?
A: Better or best is a highly subjective concept that requires numerous variables based upon use and user preference. All of the brands that you mentioned have nice models of gloves, it just depends on which model you are talking about, what specifically they will be used for, and what the user's personal preference is in gloves.
Q: What glove is best for all around (sparring,bag)?
A: Again we get into that "best" term. A "training glove" can be used for bag, mitts, and sparring. Hence, the term "all-purpose training glove." But, it is generally better to have one pair of bag gloves, and one pair of sparring gloves. The bag gloves are intended to protect "your" hands. And, sparring gloves are intended to protect "your" hands, and "your partners" head and body. You don't want to punch your sparring partner with bag gloves, and sparring gloves when used for bag work will tend to wear out quickly.
If you are interested in purchasing two pair of gloves, one for Mauy Thai, and one for Western style boxing. You would probably be best served with an all-purpose Muay Thai training glove, and an all-purpose Western style boxing training glove. Just keep in mind a good set of bag gloves and a good set of sparring gloves designed for the sport you intend to do most would probably be a wiser choice.
