@Kai_Bannon Nice! Good choices. By the way, Wheelock absolutely has to be weird, so the Exceder is spelled differently. Apparently, they thought it would be a good idea to make people thing the fire alarm would feed you Excel documents. (Excel + feeder = Exceder)

I just love their new LED notification appliances and their voice evacuation systems have the clearest script out of the others. Although their owner Eaton does seem to be quite weird.

Notification appliances: Gentex (mainly because they’re basically the only ones still making 4-wire devices)
Panels: Silent Knight (going by my experience with their SK-5208, though just the same a lot of other brands’ panels aren’t bad either)
Manual stations: Simplex (mainly due to their easily-activatable & just-as-easily-resettable t-bar, particularly their 4251-series which are of better quality than their current 4099 series)
Smoke detectors: System Sensor (gotta love the i3, which is usable on virtually any system & for virtually any application given all the different models of the i3 System Sensor sells!)
