Ender usually has the best value (price to performance) but most of their printers require a little extra setup and ongoing maintenance. Their new "s" printers are pretty nice out of the box though. Prusa seems to be a pretty reliable brand too, and most of their models are highly recommended in the 3D printing circles I hang out in.
