Variable speed pump on my own place, which one before I pull the trigger

Running an old single speed on my home pool still, 14k gallons, and I'm finally sick of the power bill so I want to swap to variable speed before summer. I service 80 accounts a week and see every brand out there but I never pay attention to which one, that's on the homeowner or whoever installed it. Not looking for a truck load discount, just want something that'll actually hold up and isn't a nightmare to program. Anybody run one for a few years and still happy with it, or regret the one you picked. Curious if the programming is as annoying as customers make it sound or if that's just people not reading the manual. Not trying to spend stupid money either, just something reliable.

Funny that you're seeing it as "not on the homeowner," because most of the programming complaints I hear are just people leaving it on the factory default schedule instead of matching it to their actual turnover, mine's been on an IntelliFlo for four seasons and the interface hasn't changed, you set your gpm targets once and forget it.
