Which of these do you guys think are the best small engines for basic utility usage like mowing lawns, snow blowing, trimmers, etc.?

B&S by far! They're much more tolerant of bad gas and oil....plus parts are easier to find and cheaper. I have a 2.5hp B&S that was made in 1960. It's had regular use the last 45 years, and it still works fine today. And parts are still easy to find for it!

Not nearly as common, but definately bullet proof. The Honda small engine.
