I always liked the GEs better than the ailing-badley. But when they came out with the SMCCC series those were great. I got as far as the A-B PLC-5 series even went to their school but this is about 10 years ago now. The slickest system I've seen was the one A-B installed in the City at the Steel mill for their new continuous castor maching it was a combination of the advanced 5 series called Pyrimid integration system.
If you can convince those guys who dont like PLCs they had better because this is the wave of the future. Alot of places are using PLCs for the ladder logic and PCs for the programs and they both work together for different jobs and types of material.
