IMO the best shell is the Marmot Alpinist. I have two of the earlier iterations of this jacket and they are simply better than anything I have ever worn in the category. If you want a significant step down in price then the Minimalist Pro. It still has pit zips but it is a little less technical looking so you can also wear it more casually and get double duty out of it.
Marmot does shells well. I'm partial to the Precip as a value pick, although reviews on the newer ones are mixed.

That surprises me a bit; I was never really happy with mine. Replaced it with one of OR's helium(I forget what they call it?) 4-way stretch waterproof fabric. It breathes better than any waterproof fabric I've ever tried. It packs down into a pocket, so not the same durability as nylon/goretex, but so far it's 100% waterproof.
