I always heard tek for scopes and hp for analyzers. Any thoughts on
that?
My experience is that HP scopes are OK-to-great, while Tek scopes
are excellent-to-superb. Similarly, HP generators and analyzers are
excellent-to-superb, while OK-to-great.
There are other manufacturers that make excellent-to-superb hardware,
such as Fluke.
