I went through the same decision almost 14 years ago, and I decided on the Toro Super Recycler. I have never regretted going with the Toro. It has never failed me in reliability. It mows even and does a pretty good job at mulching.
Right now, it looks like my Super Recycler will keep running for many years to come. I suspect I'll start wanting something new before it ever wears out.
A few years ago a friend bought a new mower and went with the Honda. His elderly father, for whom he does much of the yard work, has a Toro Super Recycler. My friend tells me that the Honda is quieter. But he also likes the Toro.
