If you are talking Class A, I think there's a wide range.

I went with Olympia Ventis. It has a 316 stainless (optional - standard is 304) inner so I can hook anything up to it in the future if need be. I also liked that it met the Canadian spec for chimney fires. The Canadian spec is (or was - when I was researching) more abusive than the US spec.

It wasn't cheap.

I think if you do a search on "Class A" you'll hit some threads.

IF you are in a hurry for this, you might want to check to see which units are in stock and ready to ship to you. I know the some (if not many) are back ordered. I waited 4 weeks for my complete system and it's a PITA if you have everything except one piece.
