Really it sort of comes down to what kind of bike shops you have around you and how their service is. We have two main smallish chain ones, one is a Trek dealer and the other is a Specialized dealer (amongst other brands), and the Trek dealer shops are awful enough I wouldn't buy a Trek on that alone, whereas the Specialized dealer has been great.
