Hard to pick reliability these day mate, they are all cheap and nasty
(but not as cheap and nasty as the no name brands)
Daikin (i had 3 units all fail within 4 months)
Fujitsu
Mitsubishi (Heavy Industries or Electric)
All reasonable machines
Honestly, today, i'd just find the unit the looks the most attractive and specs up right for your application.
A little tip here, if you go a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, get a price from Sparky Direct online store, then take that price to Bunnings and they will beat it by 10%.
You generally save around $600
(on a smaller 3.5Kw machine, the saving will not be as big, but still a healthy amount)
The Good Guys just had a $200 Visa Card rebate on all Fujitsu Splits too, but it only just expired.
Look out for similar deals this time of year.
My experience is based on the 7Kw machines
A deciding factor for me was also having a Wifi connectability, so you can control your AC unit from a Smart Phone App, allowing you to turn it ON/OFF and Control Temp when you are away from home (or in the home).
