No particular brand to recommend, but you get what you pay for.
If this is for residential use, and you or your family will be operating it, with reasonable care and maintenance, a residential duty model will last many years.
One thing to look for is the deck design. If it is a stamped deck, rounded corners, irregular shapes stamped in for rigidity in a light gauge steel, it will eventually fail and be very difficult to repair. A welded deck, flat top, curved flat strap welded around the perimeter, heavier gauge steel, will last longer and when it does fail can easily be repaired.
Parts and service support are also important. Go to some mower shops, ask questions, feel them out. If they are knowledgeable and willing to talk, it will be worth paying a little more for their product.
If they are uninterested in answering your questions for a sale, they will be even less interested in service, leave!
Buying at the big box store will save some money, but you are on your own. No service, no parts, no help.
If you want to go commercial, get ready to spend a lot of money! And just because it is advertised as commercial, doesn't mean it is. The price tells the true story.
Finding a good used commercial is not going to be easy. Very likely you will be buying something that is used up, patched up for sale to the unsuspecting.

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
