This has been covered quite a few times there are two common dissenters - the anti goretex crowd (who largely complain due to price - other fabrics are as good a value is their point), and the comments along the lines of that's too much for any jacket
Putting that aside there are three names that will regularly pop up, specifically their 3L products
Burton AK
Arcteryx
Norrona
I suspect that anybody else who's using 3L goretex is probably also making a pretty good quality garment too, but those three are the ones that are most often mentioned.
