Echo that it really depends on your budget, location, and goals. The most important thing is the antenna system, moreso than the radio. And that's very dependent on location and goals.
That being said, an ICOM 7300 or Yaesu FTDX10 are hard to beat for nice 100W radios... but you can find excellent used older radios for much, much cheaper at a local ham swap if there's one near you.
