Gas Fireplace Brands to Pick (and Avoid)

What is the best brand of gas insert fireplaces? Give me all the pros/cons
We're rapidly approaching a few selection dates on interior features/appliances and I'm a bit overwhelmed with our current task; the fireplace. We're running a natural gas (NG) setup if that helps at all.
Our builder uses a local supplier and we're headed there this weekend to see units in person. The supplier offers the following brands:
Ambiance
Heatilator
Mendota
Regency
Enviro
Kingsman
Montigo
White Mountain Hearth
European Home
Marquis Collection (by Kingsman)
Napoleon
Does anyone have any praise of horror to share on any of the above brands? We're leaning towards a 3-side-viewable unit (multiple glass walls) as it is centrally located in our floorplan and I'd like to be able to see it from the living room, kitchen, and eating space. Any and all information is welcomed and appreciated!
I am converting my wood fireplace to gas and am looking for the best natural gas insert. Reliability, efficiency, and heating are the qualities I am looking for.
The house is a two story cape cod and has about 1,000 sq ft on the first level with an open floor plan and two bedrooms. I am looking for something that will heat the first level. The house also has oil heat which is getting expensive.
I am lucky enough to have several makes to choose from. I believe the size is 30”
Heat & Glo
Enviro
Quadra-Fire
Jotul
Mendota
Pacific Energy
Regency
And I am sure even more.
What would you choose and what would you stay away from?
