What size unit are you looking at?
How difficult will the installation be?
How old is your ductwork?
FWIW, I had a new unit installed a couple of years back. The initial cost pissed me off, but I have to say, I am much more comfortable in my house now.

I paid $8500 for a new 4-ton system a couple of months ago (Ruud, single stage). Prices usually jump about a grand come May, so pull the trigger now if you’re on the fence.

Tonnage??
SEER?

$8200 for 5 ton 14 seer Amana last summer with a little ductwork. Decent deal, happy with the work that was done.
Proper install is key. Properly installed Goodman will outperform and outlast a poorly installed Trane.

Best advice I can give is to get multiple quotes. I was doing a remodel on a big older home and for 2 new units (1 four ton and 1 five ton) got quotes of $27,000, $18,000 and $9,000. So after making absolutely sure the $9k quote include everything, which it did, I went with them and saved a good chunk of money.

+1 on staying a way from Lennox. They didn’t even bother to improve the coils. Warranty only covers the part. I’m right there with you gutta. Just replaced a coil and had to pay for that labor and new coolant.

Yes. I replaced the one set of coils under warranty and had to pay only labor and coolant...2 yrs later, that same coil failed again. This time, I had to pay for new coil, labor, and coolant. My biggest problem is that I’ve got 3 Lennox units??. They are hot garbage. If I could do it again, I would have gone with Goodman and taken my chances.

tell us where you live-if you want contractor recommendations
Secondly - understand the difference in brands and manufactuers. e.g Lennox and Rheem are brands. There are scores of brands
There are 6 MFG that make almost all the products.
The difference is truly the installer. Use a reputable contractor- Get 3-4 bids- , make sure you check references.
Repair is one thing, complete installation is another.

Spend a day and get 5-6 reputable contractors to come over to give you quotes. For a 4-5 ton, you'll likely get quotes from $6000-15,000.
Someone will want the job and bid for it. and likely at least 2 will try to screw you over on the quote.
