I used to be a B&M guy. And to an extent I still am. They occupy multiple spots in my personal top ten and I’ve yet to experience a bad one despite enthusiast claims of a drop in quality,

But after my Phantasialand trip in particular I’ve noticed Intamin and Vekoma are firm favourites too. Those 3 all seem to be the elite trio of the genre.

So picking just two I’ve gone with B&M and Intamin.

I like the Mack rides I’ve been on but they don’t seem as consistent so far. Premiers Mummy ride is fantastic but it’s the only ride I’ve been on from them.

Could only do so many poll options so I’ve included “other” in case I’ve missed anything obvious or interesting.
 
Intamin are the best in the business IMO. They've been fairly inconsistent over the years but modern Intamins seem to run very well with no roughness and minimal reliability issues. Velocicoaster, Gotham City, Toutatis, Taiga for example.

Have to credit RMC for leading the way with funky airtime hills and inversions which seem the norm across all manufacturers now. Their restraints aren't the most comfortable though.

I enjoy the intensity of the classic B&M's but they seem to be playing it safe now. Find most of their coasters a bit boring aside from the inverts.

Mack are the closest contender to Intamin nowadays.

Definitely RMC - their Hybrid coasters are all world class, can’t be beaten for consistency.

Granted their Single Rails are less good than Intamins though
 
Intamin are my favourite manufacturer with RMC a close 2nd.

My top 10 rollercoasters is made up of
4 Intamins and 4 RMCs
1 Gravity Group and 1 S&S
