I recomend Carrier furnaces because, in my experience, they function well with no issues for a long time. When repair does become necessary parts are inexpensive and easy to obtain.

I'm a plumber by trade and HVAC is a closely related field. So much so that frequently the same company will handle both plumbing and HVAC installation/repair. Typically, a plumber will install the gas lines and the HVAC guys will run the flue. Working side by side with a lot of these guys and my own experience repairing furnaces has led me to believe Carrier is a good way to go.
