Which make of central heating radiator is best?

Have been getting quotes for new gas central heating system. Can anyone advise please whether Stelrad or Purmo make better radiators? Feeling swamped by too much information ~ need advice from someone who's maybe in the trade! Thank you!

    The style and paint finnish is a personal preference. Make sure the system is cleaned and a good quality inhibitor is added fernox or sentenal.

    Good afternoon: the OH uses Stelrad Softline ......the standard of the installation is the key.

    Personally I always use Stelrad. Forget about the 10 year warranty on them though. If they ever hole or leak it will always be blamed on the water quality.

    I've just had all mine replaced with these. I'm a private individual not a business, but I got a good price from PTS to buy them - so I did.
