Honda or Subaru engines?

The skid I am looking at comes with the Honda GX690 and I think there is the possiblility of getting the Subaru on it. Do you all have a preference as to which might be a better engine. I like the Kohlers myself but it is not an option here.
 
Kohlers are an option on Hydro Tek machines.

I've always heard and had good dealings with Honda engines. What pump are you going with? 4, 5.5 or 8gpm. Tank size? Trailer or truck?
 
I would say Honda, for parts availability if nothing else, however the Suburus are made in Japan and North America supposedly, unlike the New Hondas that are made in China now.

Chonda? Better off buying a Lifan and saving the $.
