Ok, I am going to put it this way, you can never find out unless you buy every bike that each one of those comanys make. I dont think that you can, so why are you even asking?

Comparing a Trek to lets say Transition, on who makes the better bike doesn't make sense. Transtion makes great freeride bikes, but Trek makes ok kinds, but Trek's road bikes are superb.

(I find it funny JASON, you having owned one trek, which you put a fork with way too much travel on, stressed the chain stays and broke it due to your own negligence, and you think you have the right to knock trek)

It's between Cove and Santa Cruz for me. Cove for Freeride, SC for All-Mountain and XC.
I voted for SC, cause if I had a shopping spree, I would have a deeper quiver to choose from.

Bruiser frames just suck. That's why they completely dropped the line. I've seen 3 other bruiser frames break in that EXACT same place, on the drivetrain side each time.
Mr asshat, you need to loosen up, ALL I said was it was a definate possibility. (I bet someone will try to use this last sentence against me.)

Kona gets my vote as mine is a beast...my caldera fell off my bike rack going down the beltway doing 75 mph and went end over end at least 10 times and into the embankment. unbelievably the only things that were broke were the front rim and seat. aside from a few scratches of course.

Here's the difference between me and you Jason, I know my comments are my own opinion. You think everything you say is fact and you know it all.

I'm just reiterating what kona told me, as to why jason's frame broke. May or may not be correct, just an OPINION.
