I wouldn´t decide only by the model or make, condition of the individual vessel is probably the most important thing

That is a typical short list for that size and type of boat and given that they all find buyers both new and used there can clearly be no "best". Doubt anybody has direct experience of all (or even more than one or two) of them so unlikely any of them can offer objective advice.

Your criterion seems to be "reliability" (how do you define this?) and in its commonsense meaning that has little or nothing to do with the the individual boat design or builder but is primarily influenced by how well it is maintained and used.

So suggest you choose a boat that you like for whatever reason (size, layout, styles, engines, colour of upholstery) and buy one in the best condition you can find. Then use it responsibly and keep it well maintained.
