I wouldn't buy anything other than Raymarine. I've always had good
service (although in the past, they had some issues, but I never
experienced them), quick turnaround on repairs and every time I had an
issue, I received solid advice from experienced technicians - which I
haven't need much of except for an installation that I screwed up on
the last Contender I owned. Strictly my fault, but they stood behind
the unit and replaced it with a new one.

Raymarine - it's as simple as that. :)

Having said that, Furuno makes good gear as well as Si-Tex, Simrad and
Standard Horizon.

It all depends on your price point.

I've liked the looks of the Raymarine line. A friend in the UK works for
company which supplies parts to Raymarine. I intend to look at them as
my first choice. If it helps me catch more fish, price is of no concern.
It simply raises the cost per fillet.
