Looks good if you have a 1 ohm sub system to match up with same.
A top 10 list... ask 10 different people and you'll get a matrix of 30 + amplifiers, (if not more) in various order. One thing that is true of all quality products, the price will be higher because they use better guts, design techniques and complex protection control circuits.
However, as a good sport, here are a few brands I have worked with that did a nice job. Also realize that amp many amp makers have A, B & C level products. They also share common guts, but different external packaging. Am sure that anything associated with MBQ will be well designed, over-engineered and a bit pricey.
Alpine, JL, JBL, Infinity, Rockford Fosgate, DSL, Kicker, Phoenix Gold, HiFonics, US Acoustics, MTX, Coustic and of coarse... The Mac.

brands...
and the funny part about it, most of them are built with parts from the same source, assembled on the same assembly lines, and the only real significant difference is the badging & the shell around the amplifier.
If the product is costly, usually it's a good product. If it seems too be too cheap compared to other amps, it's because it's overrated.
There is a much higher disparity in speaker quality than in electronics.
