I’m still in the shopping phase too so I don’t have direct experience with this but I’ve read that sticking with known bike brands is a good policy. Just be ready to spread your wallet wide open.

I also read that for the purposes of getting it serviced, go with a local bike shop. Some will not do work on brands they didn’t sell.
