I have always used Pioneer as I found I can get the better prices on Pioneer, and Im happy with the quality. That said, Pioneer are lacking a lot of stuff that Kenwood and Alpine include on basic head units.
I had to buy a top of the line Pioneer unit to get a seperate RCA out for subs, while on mid ranged Kenwoods it was standard.
I have been told to avoid Sony, as they are too powerful and tend to overheat and blow up. I know I have removed several Sony units as they just stopped working after a bit of loud music playing, so I belive that.
Panasonic seems to be good, however the lights, displays and multi colour changing doesnt appeal to me. It draws attention to the car and I dont like that. They are a good quality unit, just too 'flashy' for my liking.
I have never used Kenwood, as there has never been a Kenwood supplier in my town.
I currently have a JVC DVD player in my car, bought it second hand and I have had no problems whatsoever with it. It plays everything I want it to play with no problems, is loud enough for my liking and fits in the dash well.
Any of the top brands are ok, but you missed out Blaupunkt, which is probably one of the best brands on the market.
I would skip buying a Sony, for reasons I said, and of late, they have gone from a auto parts brand to a K Mart brand. My K Mart shopping centre sells them, and cheap, so their quality must have dropped a lot.
