I use a presto and probably all ways will. Best bang for the buck.

I also use a presto stainless steel.  

It is the only brand I have any experience with.  I found it in my grandmothers house 4 years ago so that is sort of a testament to its durability.  It has probably seen 40 years of service or more.

I bought two of those for my wife and daughter for Christmas.  They've worked very well so far.

I've got the set of 4.5 and 8.5 qt. pressure cookers from WMF.  The entire unit is stainless steel.  Pressure regulation and release is easy.  Cleans up with minimal effort.  The 8.5 qt pan easily holds a large brisket chunk, mirepoix and broth.  I've cooked with these for 2+ years and have been very happy with them.

I inherited an old Presto Cook-Master aluminum unit with the weighted "jiggle" regulator.  While I'll use it occasionally, the new units are much safer IMHO.

I bought a Fissler from woot.com last year.   It is the first one I have used,  but I like it.  Woot regularly has them if you are not in a hurry.
