Worcester Bosch have a pretty good name for reliability - which given the cost of repair is a critical factor.
IIRC, I have also heard people say Vaillant were pretty reliable too - although I can't swear that was in the specific context of gas condensing applicances. Viessmann is another name that comes up.
This is a common topic on the DIY / trade forums - there is a fairly recent discussion by others here
However, bear in mind that installation engineers favour boilers that are easy to install (=profitable) rather than "good" in the sense we might understand it !!
