I'm a fan of rosewood so I'll go with rosewood. Top Adi or Sitka both are fine for me. And I'm Taylor fan so I'll go for Taylor . What you hear on YouTube isn't the actual sound of Taylor. Go try them out and you'll see what I mean. I like Martin too but I like Taylor better. If I have more money I'll go with a custom guitar and any well known guitar maker will make a good custom guitar

Best is so subjective, but since you asked

I’ve cycled through quite a few and am smitten with my H&D. Just posted a NGD about it, but it captures everything I want in an om sonically, feel, and looks!

Martin because it doesn’t get any better than this to me.

To each their own... but to the best of my recollection, Gibson doesn't make an OM, and neither does McPherson. Admittedly the McP specs are close, but still, the handful I've played have done nothing for me.

I'd take Bourgeois, Santa Cruz, Huss and Dalton, Martin, Froggy Bottom, Goodall, and a bunch of other smaller shops before I took a second glance at a McP... but different strokes for different folks.
