Ale's frames seem well thought out if you don't mind it coming from Peru (Marino's quality seems ok to be honest, definitely better then the first few frames).
Ryan's a whizz with making the front end feel incredibly predictable and he'll build the bike with your game in mind (turn tighter, hopping, more stable, whatever).
Max's bikes are also very nice and seem to ride well, they're arguably the strongest out there (mega thick Alu).
The three guys above all play polo and in my opinion this puts them in a unique position over everyone else as they know whether (or not) the frame designs are achieving what they want to be able to do on court (they ride them themselves, etc).
Many of the frame geos aren't published Joni, you're best of riding other people's bikes as a test (where possible) and go from there?
If you definitely know what you want (design-wise) then any of the companies can realise it for you and your choice would primarily come down to frame material, price and service.
