I'm in agreement with floydpink, get something that's gonna "move" you.
All vinyl skirting, easy access to everything.
oops, I take back my earlier statement about only buying Jacuzzi or Hotspring.

Masterspa makes some awesome spas, and you could throw in Marquis to the mix as top manufacturers.

Masterspa had a dealer near me that went out of business a couple years ago and I stopped in with a friend who ended up getting a great deal on one.

All the fancy LED lighting and fancy grab rails look cool, as well as waterfalls, but count on them breaking within a couple years.

Also, make sure the spa is well sealed with no access through the skirting. I have read stories of guys opening them up and finding snakes and rodents living inside and plumbing destroyed by rodents. I sealed mine up as cottonmouths are common in my neck of the woods.
