Default Ceiling fan: brands?

Hampton Bay is a store brand for HD which imports their fans from China.

I bought two fans from a ceiling fan store. They move a lot more air than
the HD & Lowe's fans we have. So much so that we never run them on high. The
Hampton Bay fan in our master bedroom does not move as much air as a fart.

I want to buy a ceiling fan for a medium-sized bedroom with 8'
ceilings.

The brands that SWMBO has looked at on the web include Hunter, Hampton
Bay, and Casablanca.

Some advice I've seen on the web and usenet include things like (a)
remote controls often break, (b) some intelligent chip thing on
Casablancas can burn out in power surges and they won't ship you a new
one for free, etc.

I'm asking about the brands now because much of the advice I found is
at least a few years old and thus of questionable applicability to
fans available now.

TIA,
