lathes, what's best?

I'm currently outfitting a small machine shop. I've already purchased a Bridgeport vertical mill, which was a no brainer, but I'm finding it increasingly hard to determine a reliable lathe brand or even the specifications that I should be interested in.

Anyone one with an opinion or real-world experience with different lathes please pipe in and offer your two cents. Thanks a lot.
