What I have seen, I would say JVC and Toshiba. But models vary alot every year, so what was correct one year could be different next year.

3M made IMO, great tape, now it is not made anymore. Over countless productions, I think maybe one dropout. Now I am useing Maxell 126BQ, no dropout problems, tracks well because of the backcoating. However I don't know what long term storage is going to be like because of the backcoating, the layer sticking thing. The bias is right on Panasonic, and JVC machines, unlike Sony, Fuji, which seem to be optimum biased, which gives great frequency response, but is more prone to dropouts.
