Hi Holden42d,
The first place I would start is post #1 here which has all the basic informations steps and guidelines you will need to make good choices … and how and why to avoid the worse ones including both of the manufacturers you mentioned.
The better options I’m aware of in the Chicagoland area are in posts #2 and #4 here and includes one of the manufacturing members of the site who are among the best quality/value in the country.
I would likely start there and probably end there as well.
