My experience offshore (at various levels in the food chain) indicates that most SAAB seaeye brushless DC thruster based ROV units are very reliable. It's a case of deciding what best suits your operational budget. Call them up and have a chat, tell them what you want to do with it. That's often the best way to cut down to what you need. Spares and support seem to be pretty good also.
