It's time I buy a good plane. I need it for fitting doors to openings,
drawers to openings, and the like. I don't need one for surfacing
large areas. What size would you suggest? I'm leaning towards a No.
4. Which brand do you prefer: L/N or Veritas? I'm not concerned about
the price.

Sort of like asking what is better, steak or prime rib. Both are good.
I've used an L-N plane and I bought a Veritas. Both are excellent so check
out to see if there is some small detail that happens to suit you better, be
it the feel in your hand or the color of the box it comes in.
