Truthfully, I've used many over the years. JBL, Bose, Pioneer, Kicker, JL Audio, Rockford Fosgate Punch, etc...all of them have pro's and con's...
The biggest thing isn't the brand, but the sound you want. If you just want something to cruise to, the best thing is to get the most for your money (subs, amp, headunit, etc..)
You can make a Sony Xplod system sound really good if it's built/setup properly for a little money. You can also make a $2000 system sound like crap with the wrong setup too. If you want to do it right, I'd recommend replacing all the factory speakers with aftermarket speakers. A decent headunit and that alone will provide good or better than factory sound. If you want to add subs, you'll want to look at adding a small amplifier.
I'd honestly suggest considering that anyways as some aftermarket speakers sound even better with the extra amps going to them.
