That's kind of a weird list as you are mixing apples and oranges quite a
bit.
We've been around this topic a few times in a variety of ways. You'll never find two people who agree 100% on this topic but I think I can summarize. You also have some brands missing so I'm going to add a few things.
Light Control Consoles...
If your purpose is controlling moving lights for a concert tour... the top choices are probably a Hog, a GrandMA, and a
Martin Maxxyz
If your purpose is generally theatrical control consoles... the top choices are
ETC and
Strand.
If you are looking for a computer based lighting
system there are options from all of the above brands plus Horizon... which is owned by the same company that owns,
Vari-lite, and
Strand by the way. The horizon software is now the core software for all of
Strand's new consoles.
Moving lights...
If you are looking for the actual moving lights the best are
Martin,
Vari-lite, and High End. Robe is big in Europe... and might also belong on this list, I'm not sure about that.
ADJ, Elation, Chauvet are all essentially DJ gear... Elation is one that has a lot of people talking because they recently hired a top designer in the industry. There is a lot of talk about them trying to move up in the world from the DJ
level to being a top player competing with
Martin and Varilight... the jury is still out on that. Their newly released Powerspot 700 has gotten a lot of positive talk. I wouldn't buy ADJ or Chauvet... unless all I wanted was a cheap DJ
effect.
Dimmers...
ETC is generally considered the best in the dimming world followed by
Strand.
Control and Dimmers in the bargain basement:
Leprachaun, Lightronics, Dove,
EDI, NSI... You'll find a HUGE argument about which of these are good and which suck. As far as ranking... I'm not going to go there. Do some searching and you'll find several arguments on the best of the cheap stuff. Personally I wouldn't buy Leprachaun or Lighttronics, the other brands I'm comfortable with if I can't afford the good ones listed above... but they aren't as good.
Conventional Lights
Altman: Want a
Fresnel, Strip light, or
Wash light,
Altman makes some of the best. The
360Q was the most popular
ERS for over a decade... and still isn't a bad option if you can't afford a
Source Four.
ETC Source Four and
Selecon Pacific are the best in the
ERS world...
Selecon is from New Zealand so it's kind of expensive to get here in the states. Given a choice I would probably choose
Selecon over
ETC Source Four... but both are excellent.
I've Never heard of
Hub Electric.
