Recommendations for a double glazing company?

in N. Ireland
We need to replace our double glazed windows and doors and there seem to be so many companies in NI to choose from that we don't know where to start. The house is south facing with large windows (some 8 foot wide) and it's set back on a road which gets a fair amount of traffic. We know we want white uPVC windows and back door and a black composite door set in a white uPVC frame (the door would have glass panels on each side of it). We'd also like to take out a large window at the back and put in patio doors. The kitchen roof is held up by the windows so I guess the frame will need to be reinforced to take the weight.
Can anyone personally recommend a company that could do this? We don't mind travelling anywhere in Northern Ireland to visit a showroom or see work that they have completed. We just want to choose the best company for the job.
Has anyone used Getty Glass, Budget Windows or McIlhattons?
Sorry for so many questions!

We used Mcilhattons
Hubby is a builder so he built the opening for the door and put the steel in prior to them measuring up
More then happy with the work they done0 -
Used Getty Glass but after a a year the seal has gone and condensation appearing. To be fair, I haven't contacted them, so I don't know what their response would be ie Get a free replacement unit0

Probably doesn't matter who installs the unit, as long as they are competent, the manufacturer is the one who determines if the unit is well made or not. Installer might not want to reveal their source in case you went direct, and it's very difficult for a punter to know a cheap shoddy unit from a good one.0
