My experience with FLI cameras so far are they are very reliable and solidly made. I think they may have had some teething issues early on and that they are a bit more expensive initially but they have the best of everything in their components. I just wish they made an AO and OAG setup.

My experience with Apogee was the same. The 2 SBIG STL's I had were very reliable and my STi guider is wonderful. My Starlight Express Trius is also very reliable and well made. I had Lodestars' though that had a white line at the top and another had one along the side that the autoguiding software (CCDSoft) confused with guide stars and would throw the autogudiing badly sometimes.

QSI cameras seem to be high performers and the built in filter wheel and OAG is like the SBIG STL type convenience that was so popular.
