That's like asking who's Mom is the best Mom. Your main goal in choosing a screen printer is based on several things: Size for your boards. Speed of your line. Board layout in ref to edge clearance / use of breakaways. Post inspection 2D/3D of paste/adhesive (if needed). Current stencil frame size. Available maintenance assistance/spare parts�..The list goes on.
MPM and DEK are pretty major players n the game. Each has their good and bad points. You mentioned the Horizon series, so it sounds like you are getting a decent budget to buy a higher/middle ground printer. Your best bet is to actually check out each printer personally and determine if it fits your needs. Without knowing your product or facility, it is hard to say which printer (or any other) is right for you. The same goes for ovens.
On yeah, MY MOM is better than any of yours!
