Baby Lock
There are new Baby Lock owners in my get-used-to-your-new -machine class, so I've heard the instructor talk about some of their features. They sound wonderful. Top top it off, the instructor says that Baby Locks rarely come back for repairs.

Bernina
My own personal choice. I recently bought a Bernina with the stitch regulator for machine quilting--it sure makes me look better than I actually am. But I have an older, non-computerized Bernina that I love and will never part with.
