Marmot makes quality equipment and everything I have seen from REI brand is good, although I don't have experience with their packs. Same with Kelty. I have heard some good things about Osprey also.

OF all my packs that are currently still in use, the marmot is probably my least favorite. its a day and a half/weekend size pack and i've never been in love with the suspension. Maybe the bigger ones are better. That said, it has held up to a ton of abuse and I still use it at the deer lease. shite after typing this I realized its 10 years old now.

my big pack was a lowe alpine for 15+ years before I finally decided to get some newer lighter technology. It could still do its job if it needed to though. I don't hear their name mentioned as much these days but that was a great pack

Picked up an osprey aether a couple years ago and no complaints so far.
