John, you've seen my driveways. I'm guessing roughly the same size as yours? I have a Toro 826 Power Max for close to 10 years now. Never any problems and it just chugs right on through stuff that's deeper than the bucket. 8hp, 26" two stage with electric start.
I went to a power equipment dealer that sells most of the major brands. They had Toro, Ariens, Husqvarna, Troy Built. They all have comparable models in both size and price. So, I asked the guy, "all things being equal in size and price, which do you choose?" He told me Toro. They have a 2 year warranty vs 1 year for the others. A more rugged gear box and they see fewer Toros returned for problems than the others.
So, I bought the Toro and have been happy with it. Honestly, I think they're all okay and you can't go wrong with any. Unless you're buying a machine with an OHV twin motor, they all use the same motors.
