Between lowrance and furuno i'd say it really depends what you will be doing with your boat. For simple fishing, Lowrance all the way. They are reasonably priced and very easy to just pick up and go with a simple, user friendly interface. Also with their structure scan paired with a standard dual beam transducer the sonar capability of lowrance is equal to or better than the rest.
Furuno in my opinion is much better if you want to cruise and travel the coast. Their rastor and vector maps are very slick. The downside to Furuno if you've never had one is how difficult they are to simply pick up and work. Their interface is anything but user friendly.
