As above, but pick one that you can get serviced at your local Dive Shop.

Easy. Buy EDGE or HOG regulators from me. LOL!!!!! 
Seriously, what type of diving will you be doing (warm water, cold water, etc.)? Where do you live and where will you be diving? How often will you be diving? Most major manufactures listed above make quality products. Some models are better suited to certain uses then others. A little addtional information would help give you some qualified advise.

True, Jim, it's not necessary, but it's often faster (assuming actual local servicing) and cheaper (sometimes). If you have to wait 2-3 weeks for your shop to service it then it's definitely better to send it out yourself and save the cost of the middle-man.

Aqualung and Scubapro are probably the two biggest names in SCUBA...they have a huge legacy to them. Sherwood was a latecomer, but they're attached to a huge industrial gas valve manufacturer / supplier / distributor, so they're going nowhere.
Personally, I went with Aqualung.
My first regulator was a used Conshelf XIV. I still have it...it is my pool beater regulator and works fantastically. I run an Apeks XTX100 + TX40 2nds for singles, Apeks Tek3 + XTX100 2nds for doubles, and a DA Aquamaster doublehose for fun dives.
Anything that works and you can find parts for will be fine. There isn't too much to a regulator.
