My vote goes to the NW2, hands down. Nothing I've seen can really dig in and pull quite like an NW2.

While I have not had any experience with a T6 I've heard some tales of woe in regards to the T6 - mostly electrical and traction motor stuff, although I do like their aesthetics.

I'm not impressed with the SW1200, or more specifically the SW1200RS variation.

My personal picks would be the NW2 (very popular as I can see from prior posts)...

And I'd hafta say the SW1001 (a sturdy workhorse for the RDG that has found a home with NS).
