What are your top 3 favorite turntable companies (manufacturer) and why?

I am interested in knowing which 3 turntable companies you like and why? Not interested in the Direct Drive vs Belt drive argument, just what is your experience with the company product and... support too. Something like this as an example-

Garrard- very solid and classic design that sounds great and built like a tank.

Well Tempered- Very good design and even better tonearm performance. Best model is  ________

Technics- Very solid design and easy to adjust. Great idea with removeable headshell

Your thoughts and experience welcome

Nice tables if you can afford them. As I'm not the heir to a fortune, my favorites are a bit more plebian:

Technics (Just bought a new SL-100C which I match to a Goldring E4).

Music Hall Stealth and Classic - Have used both and found them musical and reliable.

Dual - starting with a Dual 1212 in 1970 through a Dual 1219, a CS-622 and CS-5000 over 52 years, I think they offered the best bang for the buck. Their new CS-618Q is also quite fine.
