Different people like different saxophones. It depends what style and who you are. Tenor produces a jazzier sound, but you often sacrifice having the melody for a counter-melody, or sometimes even just tones in the background. Alto is generally a good choice for concert band. for marching band, the baritone or Contra-bass Saxophone is a good choice, to enhance the band's sound.
As for brands...
For alto: stay away from yamaha. Julius Keilwerth st 90 series 4 is a good model, and my personal choice.
Tenor and Baritone : Selmer.
I do not play contra-bass, and therefore, cannot give you a good brand.
