Allegedly Honda makes the best. I went with Honda based upon recommendations.
I can't compare it against others, but mine is great, doesn't clog at the chute, and it's very powerful.
Here's what went wrong with mine so far:
The blade is connected to the shaft with a soft break-away style bolt. If you hit a rock it snaps and the blade won't turn. It's a mechanism to protect the gearbox. When the blade no longer turns, the blade clogs with snow. It sucks replacing the bolt on a cold metal blade covered in snow.
Also the belt drive popped off, but it was repaired under warranty and the place I bought it from made it very easy, no hassle, and they came to my home to fix it.
Other than that it's a dream.
