I hear this a lot with my Nissan:

"You really saved enough on your kicker to buy all those new reels and rods?"

Seriously, though, if part of your criteria for "Best" includes value for the money, check out the Tohatsu/Nissan. You get a lot of great motor for a whole lot less coin than the Yamaha or Honda. If, however, price is not a consideration, by all means get the Yamaha with all the power options and rig it up for remote throttle/shift/steering.
