To narrow down the choices and prevent another war, ;~) how about first
telling us what you are looking for in a saw and what you will be doing with
it. Other wise pick one with a color you like and that you can afford. I
no not recall any one complaining about their particular brand cabinet saw.

Okay, here's my two cents, but that all this comment is worth anyway.
(and I agree with Leon's point of view too)
I have owned and used two table saws . The first was a Craftsman that
did not perform well for me until I added a Unifence to it. My
current saw is a Unisaw that performs much better in all regards to my
earlier saw. Various accessories have made both saws work better. A
less expensive saw with a sliding cut off table and a reliable fence
could be your best value instead of buying the most expensive saw and
then needing to make or use those accessories.
Although I have been pleased with my Unisaw, there are some features
on the Powermatics that I wish were on mine. Riving knife, dust chute
under the blade to name two. Fit and finish on the PM is better than
my Delta. But, I have a lot of the accessories for my saw that make
my shop life easier and lots of fun.
Again, 2 pennies worth of opinion (and that's a liberal estimate)

Opinions are like (pick your metaphor ), everybody has one...

My opinion is it's a worthless question w/o qualification of budgetary
limitations, purpose, etc., etc., etc., ...

As for personal preference that fit my assessment of above, it was the
Model 66...

If you can't dedicate the cash to a SawStop, there's always this one:

If you got the cash, PM-66.
If you don't have the cash, Grizzly.

Cocking the weapon, slipping the extra magazines into my bandolier,
hiding the knife and mini-pistol in my sock, and putting the throwing
stars in my shirt, I mumble...

Mine's a 5 HP General 650. G

Start with a UniFence.

Jack it up, drive anything that wants to call itself a cabinet saw
under it.

Chances are you will be happy.

But what does politics have to do with saws?

Do the math.

650 = 300 + 350. 300 = 85% of 350.

Therefore...
The 650 is 85% better than the 350, for about the same price.

Generally speaking, it's all about value! Do I have to teach youz
guyz everything?
