    Stay away from Federal Pacific, any that are available are obsolete. All the others are fine. Cutler Hammer is good. Square D QO is built for light commercial grade, their HomeLine is usually reasonably priced, and still good.

    If you ever think you might want to add a backup generator, this http://ecatalog.squared.com/techlib/...00892680126e4f could tip you to Square D, it is only about $30, vastly cheaper than other alternatives.
