Best brand of lathe for threading and chambering barrels?

I have both a South bend 10L and a 13". They both do good work. My favorite lathe for gunsmithing has to be an older Clausing 6913. I've had a few old 1980's Tiwanese lathes that work great, and I've used both the newer grizzly and south bend lathes. If in good shape they will all work if you know how to run them.
