Tough call. I love chronos, but with a Daytona I don't see how I'd want to wear any other.
I love the Sub, and it's near the top of the list of my "next watch" list.
I'll catch hell for this, but I am biased against Omega in comparison to Rolex. I've been collecting for 30 years. I had an Omega Broad Arrow (3303? 3033?). It went back twice under warranty. The third time back was on my dime, during which time I bought a new Speedy Pro Moonwatch to wear while the BA was being serviced. The Speedy Pro went for warranty repair FIVE times, and I sold both watches immediately after their return. No new Omegas for me anymore.
My Omega experience is the exception to the rule, so your experience would hopefully be different.
As for WhiteBread/BlancPain, they just don't justify the cost for me. So I cannot speak from experience.
