I have an older model Husqvarna Viking #1. It runs very smooth, very quiet. You can usually find them second hand and run around $600-800 used. I love mine and use it to sew home decor and tote bags. Before that, I had a Euro-Pro. While it was heavyduty, it was really noisy and slid around a bit!

If you can afford an industrial Singer -- I used one back when I worked in a clothes factory -- those are hands down the best!! It takes up a lot of room but I think it ranks above the other two b/c it offers best in terms of output, you can run it for hours and hours.
