Great Intamin and B&M coasters! The Vekoma ones are good too, but those are probably the only good Vekoma ones I've been to :p Hehe and as far as I know I've only been to two Arrow coasters, they're not that common I suppose..
 
Re: Favourite coasters from 4 most noted (steel) manufactere

Not tons jump to mind with Vekoma and Arrow/S&S, but clearly with the Vekoma's I've ridden, Disney takes the cake. With Intamin and B&M the lists seem to change with me all the time, but at the moment:

Intamin
1. El Toro, SFGAdv.
2. Maverick, Cedar Point
3. TTD, Cedar Point
4. Kingda Ka, SFGAdv.
5. Storm Runner, Hershey Park

B&M
1. Nemesis, Alton Towers
2. Montu, BGT
3. Griffon, BGW
4. SheiKra, BGT
5. Talon, Dorney Park

Vekoma
1. Space Mountain, Disneyland
2. Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, DLRP
3. Space Mountain: Mission 2, DLRP
4. Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, WDW: Hollywood Studios
5. Expedition Everest, WDW: Animal Kingdom

Arrow/S&S
1. X2, SFMM
2. HellCat, Timber Falls
3. Magnum XL-200, Cedar Point
4. Loch Ness Monster, BGW
5. Gemini, Cedar Point
 
Re: Favourite coasters from 4 most noted (steel) manufactere

B&M:
1. Nitro - SFGA
2. Apollo's Chariot - Busch Gardens Williamsburg
3. Raptor - Cedar Point
4. Hulk - IoA
5. Kraken - Sea World

Intamin
1. Millennium Force - Cedar Point
2. El Toro - SFGA
3. Skyrush - Hersheypark
4. Storm Runner - Hersheypark
5. Volcano - King's Dominion

Arrow
1. Magnum XL - 200 - Cedar Point
2. Loch Ness Monster - BG: Williamsburg(fun, and smooth, but honestly it wasn't that great...)
3. Gemini - Cedar Point (kind of the same as above, I'm running out of Arrows I didn't dislike)
...
4. Anaconda ? - King's Dominion (I remember it not being that rough, but it was kind of slow and dull)


Vekoma
1. X Flight - Geauga Lake now Firehawk at King's Island
2. Expedition Everset - Disney Animal Kingdom
3. Rock n Roller Coaster - Disney Hollywood Studios
4. by default: Sidewinder - Hershey Park since it no longer causes head trauma

For B&M only Nitro and Apollo's Chariot jumped to mind, and I really had to mull over the rest... while the first 4 Intamin's were instant. Guess that goes with our consensus: B&M are better overall but more moderate, while Intamin has better rides but are hit and miss.

Interesting list.
How was Divertical? Looks fun but kind of slow?
 
Re: Favourite coasters from 4 most noted (steel) manufactere

Yeah, it is great, but more like a family ride, also Mirabilandia counts it as a family ride (their website). Finally Intamin without OTSRs, and you also get pretty wet on the second splash. As for Intamin rides 3 of 4 had tehnical problems while waiting in line (this is one of them, from 5 times standing in line I only got to ride it twice :(
