What are you going to use the worms for. If its composting then I
thought that bradling worms (from a fishing bait shop) were better
than the lob worms usually dug up in a garden (the brandling worms
live deeper in the ground AFAIK and are therefore harder to dig up).

Better in what way?

Better in that they prefer the conditions and will breed more and
therefore there will be more worm activity.

I've got compost heap and added a load of horse manure from a friend's
stable. It's full of worms but would they be the brandling or the ordinary
variety?

Probably the brandling. Smaller, thinner, and striped compared to the
ordinary Lumbricus earthworm.
