I have the Husqvarna Designer 1. I personally think the Husqvarna's are the best out there.

Sandy uses a Janome 11000. It is also excellent.

I would recommend actually trying a few of them, and take your own fabrics to test with, samples of the things you typically sew. We use such different fabrics than the general population that even if the store has anything other than the stiff cardboardy test fabric, it won't be anything like our costume fabrics. Sometimes the actual features are pretty equivalent; but the feel and process differs. If often comes down to the personal feel you have for the machine.

Keep in mind the embroidery software you will need if you intend to do anything other than pre-canned designs. You want one that you understand and can use fairly easily.
