So far I've only specified Zehnder units. As far as I know they're the most efficient, they're quiet, and the distribution system is very easy to install - very "plug and play" with the connections. They are probably the most expensive out there though - $6-7k in the end - but you get what you pay for.
I don't have any experience with others, though I hear things from colleagues - but not the kinds of things that will get me to use something else, at least not yet.

Richard,
In addition to the Zehnder models, one model that is often mentioned by builders of energy-efficient homes is the UltimateAir RecoupAerator 200DX ERV.
For more information on this topic, see HRV or ERV?
