I like the bezel on the Avenger but I'm not a fan of the polished centerlinks of the bracelet, I prefer the 'tool watch' look of the Superocean.
It's a bit difficult to decide from only pictures so I'm waiting for the shops to open again.
I also really like this one a lot (something completely different).

That Oris pilot is lovely, will add to the list.
Very similar to the Sinn 240 I was recently drooling over.

The ChronOris can be had for like $750 in the U.S. at the moment. Mad cheap for what it is.
I like the SuperOcean more. As a Breitling owner and appreciating that they're an acquired taste in many people's eyes, I will say that their customer service has always been second to none for me (I have walked into Breitling boutiques several times and asked if they can clean my watch and they just do it on the spot in their ultrasonic watch cleaner thing - no request for a receipt whatsoever). The watch itself is also really well finished. The AR coating is superb on their crystals as well.

I love it.

@DethBeard beat me to it - if you like that Oris, I was going to suggest you have a look at the Sinn 240 as well (although I prefer the tide version with the internal blue bezel). Or if you want a more knockabout version, the Seiko ufo reissue (SRPC11 ).
The Oris is quite different in style and price bracket to the breitlings - are you after anything in particular ? And I completely agree about making the call in person, renders / pics never capture them properly.
Just another thought - for the price of the new breitling, you could pick up a nice secondhand Superocean Heritage or a chronomat blackbird if you want the knobbly bezel...

Another vote for superocean - not a huge fan of the avenger bezel. I slightly prefer the avenger dial/handset from the pics but not enough to outweigh the bezel.
More importantly, which one do you prefer and why :) Is this a potential incoming?
