Lots of people have been rating their ukuleles in the review section of the site over the last couple of weeks. You can see the ten highest rated ukuleles here. The early leader is KoAloha closely followed by Kamaka and Kala (people really love ukes that begin with K it seems).
If you think your favourite uke has been cruelly overlooked, go rate it. There’s a list of ukulele makers here and luthiers here.

Thanks for the press, comrade. :D
I just finished up a Gretsch tenor (tenor!) from the late 30s as well. It’s been ukey good times lately.
