I've worked on 4400, Zyzatech, AquaB, WaterBoss and CWP and my favorite is CWP hands down. Of course the disinfections make AquaB and CWP stand out from the others.
Of the two, I've had more issues with AquaB in a year than I have had with CWP in 5. Also ease of repair. CWP doesn't take much for special tools, Aqua B requires expensive meters. Last the manuals. The CWP is easy to read and walk yourself through, Aqua B I believe was written by lawyers in Latin, translated to German and then to English (I'm only half joking there are actually words that have never been translated). The class is okay but don't think you can use the manuals to remind yourself of procedures you learned in class take lots of notes.

I know I'm very late to this discussion but I second the CWP.
The staff can easily be trained to do the automated disinfect (no more SUNDAYS) and the loop is heated every night. I've had almost no issues with it and the tech support is top notch if I do. It's all our area has now after our last water room was updated two years ago.

CWP for me. Easy to maintain and hot water automated disinfection every night is a no brainer. Yes, you do have to chemically disinfect the membranes and RO weekly with Minncare, but that’s a small labor compared to monthly conventional system disinfections. Some of the ones in my area are old but keep on chugging away. Stay on top of your maintenance and keep a spare pump on hand.

There are many manufactures these days, take your time and gather absolutely as much information as you can from multiple manufactures. That includes repairs, PMs, and specialty tool costs required to maintain the equipment. Obviously the budget is one of the biggest factors.
If you go with loop heat disinfect you have to have a loop, wallbox connections, and associated connections for machines and mixers that will work with it. Heat on the RO and loop side of the unit would be ideal at this point, just to get away from chemicals. Some units come with a membrane heat disinfect or a mostly closed 'Minncare' system disinfect.
A specific PreTx may be required for some individual RO systems. The CWP, Aqua A or B, and other specialty systems require their specific PreTx for the 510K.
Physical space in the water room is also a consideration. The CWP for one, requires about 10 feet long by 7 feet across for an absolute bare minimum work area, with the CWP in the middle.
Electrical service should be planned out once you decide on the system. Some systems run a fairly normal PreTx and RO power requirements. More modern systems require more electrical connections.
As for my personal preferences: I like multiple different plateforms for different applications and budgets. I work for a big 3 with tons of cash to support costly water systems, I also work for NFP facilities that have a $40K budget for the water system a year.
