I have a couple clients who mix to 1/4" 2-track on their Otari MX5050's and their results generally sound very good. While not necessarilly the "best" - if they are in good shape and calibrated correctly then they definitely can be reliable and provide good sounding results - and the fact that they are the one analog reel deck still currently being made means that it's slightly easier to get parts and support for them than other options.

Best regards,
