SMC in my opinion. .

SMC Valves are very popular/reliable! Parts are dime a dozen for them and they are easy to rebuild if needed...
ASCO Valves have been in the game for a LONG time, they are just as reliable although parts are a bit harder to come by...
GC Extreme Valves are wicked! They are more for the hoppers or someone wanting a very fast valve, but overall a great valve...
Those 3 companies are easily the most sold imo...If I was to recommend one only, it would be SMC...
Hope that helps!

buy from dev he'll hook you up
I run nothing but ASCO in my shop. They have been around for over 100 years now. I have no problem getting parts for them.
I used to work at a water pump company, and they had high pressure water systems running over 1K PSI at times, and they ran nothing but ASCO valves.
ASCO. The valves from the equipment I work on don't fail often. I've seen 1 failure in 5 years. And that was not a total failure, just out of spec (proportioning valve).
So I bought ASCO valves.
