First choice: Biesemeier. Get the big one, not the home shop model.
Second choice: Shop Fox Classic. Pretty much the same as the Biese, but a little bit cheaper.
<B>Last</B> choice: The Vega. Had one for about three months. Sold it and bought a Biesemeier. Never looked back...

Another vote for the commercial Bies. the fence is solid as a rock, easy to adjust, and if you want to attach jigs, you can always make a clamp on auxillary fence. I had a Craftsman fence that was aluminum and will never own another aluminum fence. While I'm sure just about anyone else could do a better job than Sears at the implementation, I still think aluminum is just too flexible in the sizes that are used on fences. Its also soft and gets dinged up too easily.
