What carrier do y’all recommend? 37 years old in decent health, looking for a 20 or 25 year $1m term policy.

Try AIG through Select Quote. They're a decent company that pays claims and their rates are among the cheapest out there, as they relate to other legitimate life insurance companies.

Not that he would convert, but how are Banner's conversion options/choices these days? Used to be dogshit.

Conversions can be requested anytime within the duration of the guaranteed level premium period, up to attained age 70, whichever comes first. Policies issued at age 66 or over are convertible during the first five policy years.

Ok, so does SF when running "elite", "preferred", that's how other "reputable" companies advertise.

who offers $1MM 20 year term on a 37 year old for $600 year at a standard rate? NOT PREFERRED, but standard Non Tobacco?

I also have $1MM through NYL at $660 year, but I was also in great health at that time and got a super preferred rate. Have $1MM on wife with NYL for $380 year, but she's also in great health (elite rate).

Fact is most companies are usually within $10 of each other. I'm not stating SF is the cheapest, they aren't, but to be Quoting preferred rates is a little misleading.

Not really. 37 years old in decent health would get preferred in most cases.

Seems like we have at least one broker in here....

Do any of the carriers have more lax underwriting? Ie. Would one carrier sometimes rate preferred for a risk that most other carriers would quote as standard?

Yes

You are at the mercy of the underwriter, not the agent/broker

Yes, I understand that- The question was directed towards the brokers in this thread (I assume janky is one).

I have been holding an insurance license since 2000 although I don’t sell it anymore. Yes, certain companies are more agressive in their underwriting. Some are better for say high cholesterol while some are better for certain age groups. That is why finding someone who isn’t captive is important.
