	1. Look up the reputation of the different manufacturers. Cross off the ones who have consistent complaints. 2. Look at available support from the remaining manufacturers. An OEM that has support facilities locally, will have a quicker reaction time than one a continent away. 3. Look at cost differences last. 4. Make your decision, and be prepared to back it up with the above research. __________________ TANSTAAFL (If you don't know what that means, Google it - yourself)

	The best one will be the ones that cost-efffectively work, work well, and do not fail frequently out in the field. __________________ If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Just build a better one.

	If you have full authority to select the Equipment for your Project, I will suggest you SOCOMEC. Note that I dont mention that brands are not good. The following comparison also will help you to choose the best one. 1. Cost comparison. 2. Delivery time. 3. compliance with specification or requirements. 4. availability of after sales service. 5.Availability of spare parts. Note:-my selection is depends on the best commission I get.
