Best eBike brands overall

Hey everyone!

I'm thinking about upgrading my eBike next year and have been doing a ton of research, but it's hard to cut through all the marketing hype. I mostly ride on paved trails and some light gravel, usually 20-30 miles at a time. I'm curious, what do you all consider the best eBike brands overall when it comes to reliability, value, and performance? Are there any brands that consistently impress you, or perhaps some hidden gems I should be looking into?
