Sovol due to openness. An enclosed or easily encloseable one (core-xy design) if you want to print ABS/ASA.

Sovol have really made name for themselves in recent years. I feel like when I was first getting into printing they were just another cheap brand, but in recent years with all the other companies closing themselves off Sovol have instead made things better and more open for everyone, including (IIRC) giving money to the Voron team.
