We got built in Neff oven, microwave, extractor and induction hob. Bosch fridge and freezer. Can't fault them. No issues three years in. Unless you're after a specific feature, I can't see a need for anything more expensive. Look good too, IMO. Slide and hide oven door is great. Induction hob is not at all noisy, hadn't even crossed my mind, and our pans aren't anything special. In fact, the hob came with a set of saucepans and frying pan. I can dig out model numbers if you like.
Also, I would really suggest you consider making everything built in.
Siemens dishwashers with the little projector that shines on the floor to show how long is left in programme is great!
Franke sink waste disposal is great and reduces the number of times we empty the bin, a lot. Also means that food waste doesn't sit in bin and start whiffing. The dishwasher outlet is routed through the waste disposal to keep it clean.
Regarding layout, we spent time considering the two triangles: 1. the cooking one: fridge, hob, sink and 2. the clean up one: sink, dishwasher, bin. Realise though that sometimes that not every kitchen has a layout or enough degrees of freedom to allow these to be perfect. We optimised these as best we could and then put the other stuff in the remaining spaces.
