We're pretty sure we want a gas cooktop (has to be able to be converted for liquid propane) and double wall ovens, a microwave drawer and dishwasher. We're keeping the current fridge, as it's only a few years old.
I don't think I need chef level stuff. There are only two of us in the household, and while we host family get-togethers, we don't cook for large groups very often.
Viking and Wolf and Thermador seem to provide more than we need. What are other good brands?

I've been in the market for a new oven and found this one at Top's. Love the French doors on the top. You pull on one and the other opens simultaneously. It's a good idea because it leaves the front of the oven free, you don't have to reach around from the side as you may have to if the door swung down.
Top's carries all the brands you've mentioned.

If you want a really nice luxurious look, and have good high btu burners, and good build design.
Not much will match the burner btu and burner spread of a Thermidor or Viking, but there are great higher end big name branded items. Pretty much any natural gas oven or anything natural gas can be changed to Propane. The igniters are usually designed for both, really just changing the regulators and intake line.
So your fuel should not be a problem, just the added expense of needing new parts added to it, or many times you can get the units already with the Propane components.
I would look at Kenmore Elite, GE Profile and even Whirlpool. Each makes some great looking units, and they do their job. I think their pricing is good for the quality level. On the Dishwasher, no mater what color the front panel, I would recommend a stainless steel inner tub.
Any particular features that you want? Things to avoid?
Pretty much internally they are the same from one to the other. The differences in most appliances is solely electronics and appearance and 'added features'.
(Except for the Korean, European and New Zealand (F/P) brands, which while nice and functionally superior I'm not sure the higher price is really worth it)

It's time to replace my aging electric cooktop and I've looked at gas but I'm becoming more and more intrigued with induction cooktops. Anyone have any first-hand experience with them?

I have Viking appliances and they are junk. When they work, they work great but every one of our appliances has been broken at some point. Less than 6 years old.

Fridge: Amana, freezer on top. Really impressed me when we had a power outage during the summer with temps at 100 outside and rose to 88 inside over 24 hours. When power came on I expected a mess. Everything was cold.
Dishwasher: Kitchen Aid. Very long washing cycle but very quiet. Also no need for pre wash. It takes care of gunk.
Stove: G.E. Electric Glass Top. I had gas for most of my life. Will never go back. Electric is clean, easy to learn how to coast when cooking. Took me about 10 minutes. Might take most people a day or two.

I have some POS Whirlpool smooth top range. It's the worst thing I've ever cooked on. Good thing is it's only for a year I have to cook on it, but man, it sucks. Takes forever to heat up and cool down. Temperature is impossible to regulate. Impossible to clean without breaking out some razor blades. The oven portion is decent, but the stove top is my enemy.
