There are several good brands. But, a lot of the choices narrow down with more info, like insulation values and living space to be heated and cooled.
I used my first heat pump in '74. Old school with heat strips. built another home in 79 and again used heat pumps. Two this time. Both dual fuel, heat pump with propane aux heat.
In both cases they were chosen because natural gas was not available. BTW, when it is available it is always cheapest to operate.
I now have one small heat pump in a room added to my current home. It was more economical to install a separate unit than to upgrade the original ducted system. This one is of cheaper variety, Pioneer brand mini-split, self installed. only 12000btu but handles 600 sqft easily except for maybe 5-10 days per year when I kick on 1k of resistance baseboard heaters. Very low electric usage in normal cooling or heating mode. 4 years old with on fan motor failure 4 days after install. company provided new more by mail and I changed it. No issues since.
I have the tools to do the install and the total outlay for the unit delivered was just a little over 1k.
I do two annual services on it and my original AC and always have since the 70s. Same as a service contract would provide, check current draw and operating pressures, clean all coils with coil cleaning compound purchased from the local supply house.
If you have a smaller space to deal with, the mini splits are really attractive but the costs varies widely with brand. Mitsubishi is considered the best, with Daiken and others close behind. LG is a good brand also, but in my area there is almost no dealer technical support.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
