this will get you alot of responces, cause everyone has their favorites.
i like meyers plows, because i have been using them forever and have more spare plows and parts than i can ever use after plowing for 30+years.

Fisher plows seem to work well and last forever. I have a regular 8 ft HD plow and it is about the minimum that I'd recommend on a SD truck. The V-Blades are nice if you plow professionally and need the extra features. A straight blade is simple to operate and folk like me find it easier to use. Both types plow snow just fine when a SD truck is doing the pushing.
As others mentioned, the best plow is one that has dealer support in your area. When something breaks or when you need a new plow edge, a decent dealer makes all the difference.

I've plowed with Westerns over the past 15 years. Haven't broken one yet, do all the service recommended and it should work great for you year after year. I just got a 8'6" V-plow for it, works great.

I vote for fisher, I have a 8' Stainless X-Blade min. mount.. Knock on wood four seasons strong without a single problem.
I keep up on seasonal maintance, change fluid ever season, grease and oil before summer indoor storage and again when removed from storage for winter use.

As for which plows are the best is a choice for each individual. The Western plows are great because they flip over and will go up and over objects like curbs and such. A Fisher can put you into the windshield if you hit a curb head on because they do not fold over. Only the bottom edge flips. Here is where you will cause damage to your plow and plow frame and possibly your face and truck if you are not careful. I plowed driveways with an 8 foot Western for over 10 years. I had it welded up to fit a Fisher plow frame under carriage. Why? because Fisher has the best under carriage on the market. For the last 20 years I have had Fisher plows exclusively on my trucks. None of which has sustained any damage to speak of. A Fisher plow is also great for pushing stuck vehicles because it doesn't flip over. Just stick a tire between your plow and the vehicle you need to push out.
