Oh, that doesn't sound fun! Sounds like there was something about that brand that didn't work for you, or maybe you just have unusually sensitive eyes. Given your reaction, I can understand why you're gun-shy. Since you only have astigmatism in one eye, and it's probably mild, you are probably not missing much without torics. I didn't wear them myself from age 18, when I first got contacts, to age 45, but I do get crisper vision with them than with non-toric contacts.
