Printer: HP9000, HP45500, JV3, Onyx
I use a Mimaki JV3-160 with traingle full solvent inks. love it. Same speed as the rest of the lot, a bit easier to clean and maintenance, takeup roll included, easier to make a good seal around the printer to vent the solvent out, and well built heaters/sensors.
Ya know, it really seems to me that at the $27-32k price range they are all about the same. Same heads, more or less same parts, more or less same issues. The ink used plays a HUGE role in how the printer behaves, the color, and the way the heaters need to run.
As with most of this stuff, who ever is going to give you the best training and support; or what ever product you are more familiar with is going to work fine. Like lance says, "it's not about the bike".
