>>63466151/24 and up is all I've heard of. Tamiya is your best bet, then it goes down to revell, and stay away from fucking AMT dear God i still have nightmares. However, if you're down for some hardcore shit, I'd recommend Model factory Hiro. MFH kits have about 300 parts in them, maybe more, and are cast mostly in metal. Not mine, but a pic I pulled from Google to show you some MFH quality.
Price ranges:
Revell/AMT $25-30
Tamiya $30-40
MFH $150-$200
