OT: Central AC units - Carrier v. Trane v. Lennox

Ok so a central AC system is technically not outdoor power equipment, but the condenser is outdoors and it is powered. So I'm looking for some advice from the board that has given me great advice on other topics, because it's time to replace the Central AC system in my house (20 year old air handler leaking freon and a 14 year old condenser).
I'm pretty much looking at the top of the line systems from Carrier (Infinity 18), Trane (XLi 19), and Lennox. Does anyone have any experience with these units and recommendations as to one manufacturer versus the other.
Right now I'm favoring the Trane, but I am somewhat concerned that it is a Freon based unit, not Puron. Now I know Freon will remain available essentially for the entire useful life of any new AC system, so if there any reason not to still purchase a Freon based system?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
