Any other suggestions?

And any suggestions on who to call to install?

thank you all again!
Consumer Reports gives all of those brands, along with Carrier and Lennox, highest scores for reliability and owner satisfaction. Whatever your HVAC guys prefer is fine. A bigger question is this: Efficiency. Do you pay less now and pay more every month for years to come with low efficiency, or do you pay several thousand more now for much higher efficiency, then see your heating and cooling bills drop by half?

Here’s the Consumer Reports link. I myself would go for higher efficiency, but that’s just me.
