Can anyone recomend a brand of water to air heat exchanger to install in my furnace?

Is there a difference in quality between manufacturers?

Be careful, some cheaper ones are of poor quality and they are made overseas. They look to be soldered as opposed to brazed. Sometimes the best deal is not the best deal.

I always buy USA (if possible) for quality and to keep jobs here in the US. Who is a good company to buy from, Brazetek?

I'll let someone who has bought one and has had some experience answer that.

I have been looking for one for myself as well.

I bought a 20x20 water to air exchanger from Alternative Heating Supply (Google them) back in April when I upgraded my system to hydroair with the AHS 130 boiler. I've had good luck so far. Here are some pictures too... This system has kept our house toasty warm so far. I'll know more when the thermometer drops to -10F and the wind is howling!!!

I like the look of these fine Brazed w/ silver solder type:
