It's not in your poll but I'd pick Ruger, hands down. Yeah, some of them may be a little on the clunky side but they're built like tanks and go bang every time. And, they're generally priced very well. They're not sexy like the hot chick at the bar, but when closing time is about to happen....well, you know the rest.
I voted Colt. They have set the pace for so many platforms over the years from revolvers, pistols, long guns and retain their value more than most others. I don't own any currently but if I could just "magically acquire" them I'd choose Colt...then sell them and buy Brownings and Glocks. :-D
