Range hoods: XO vs Zephyr vs GE vs ?

We're about to remodel the 27-year old kitchen in a house we just purchased, and I'm looking for advice on range hoods to go over a 30" slide-in GE Profile gas range.

I'd like to get a reasonably priced pro style hood with around 600 cfm. So far, the front runners seem to be:

⢠Zephyr Tempest II
⢠XO XOT1830s
⢠GE Profile JV936DSS

The GE is only 21" deep, and the XO is 22" âÂ" while I realize that affects their venting ability, I'm 6' 4" tall and that actually might be a little bit preferable to a hood that I constantly have to feel like I'm peering under.

We moved from a house that had a OTR microwave, so any standalone range hood at all is going to be a definite improvement.

Has anyone had any experiences with any of those models that would steer you toward or away from them? Are there other brands I should consider in approximately same price range?

Thanks!
