All depends on what you're looking for.
The Lakai Howard Boots are good. Good shape, fit, and look. Plus they skate like a champ. However, they're thin.
It looks like Vans discontinued the Stage 4 Mid, which is a bummer, but if you can find those on sale, I'd recommend them. Skates a lot like a vulc but slightly more padded and comfortable.
It would seem that people either love or hate the Emerica Reynolds. I personally did not like them. Too bulky and the toe was weird.
Although Nike is what it is, they make good shoes, and the Dunk Mid is a really good skating shoe. In addition, the Koston Mid will drop soon, and everyone liked the low.
Supra has a bunch of options, but these don't appeal to a lot of people either. They do have the Ellington and an Ellington Mid/High dropping soon that looks pretty solid however. I had the Skytop 3's, as a joke. They were comfy but I couldn't get used to them or want to skate them.
Despite the lack of models, most companies do offer one or two options such as the Adidas Pro Model, Cons Pro Leather Skate Mid, and Etnies many offerings.
Something to greatly consider, is a well padded vulc. Nike and Cons shoes now come with Lunarlon in almost every shoe, and I don't think anyone that has felt that comfort would be bummed on that.
