They're all good, depending on your requirements.
You already know what sort of quality to expect from a Sunncamp Venture - it's just the FC version of their trailer tents. White formica and no fridge, but at under £4K including awning it might be worth a look.
Conway/Pennine rather the other end of the scale, pretty expensive but look fab. Choose a Countryman/Fiesta type if budget limited and you don't mind having to make up one of the beds every night.
Choose the Cruiser if you like the two permanent beds and want space, and choose the Pullman/Crusader for the same but more so.
Don't discount the more obscure types - some of them are absolutely fabulous value. The Trigano Randgers are comparable to the Conway/Pennine range but a bit less shiny and a bit cheaper.
The Raclet Globetrotter is also about £4K, it has the advantages of a HUUUGE awning, the best canvas on the market and a fridge, but no toilet, the folding mechanism is just a big TT (the beds sit on legs), and the finish is not Conway.
The Raclet Tamaris is even plusher than the Crusader/Pullman, and it is a lot cheaper (as in 3 grand cheaper), and has better quality canvas (if you go for the canvas version). There are shows round the south of the country where you can get them for comedy prices, but they only come in orange...
Hope this helps.

No, I mean the crusader.
Let me repeat, the Tamaris is plusher than the plushest Conway. The carpets are deeper pile, the wood is oak rather than faced ply, the mattresses are thicker (and sprung, just like the conway), both beds are king size, there is a shower option.
It's rare, normally expensive when not at the tent show, and the canvas is an... individual colour. It's heavy and high, and so I can't imagine that it's a joy to tow.
But for the bargain hunter it could be worth a look!
