New Gas Furnace & Air Conditioner - Goodman, Rheem, or Carrier?

Hi all - We're having natural gas brought to house and I'm working with a local contractor to install a new 96% efficient gas furnace and 16 SEER air conditioner. Had a Goodman furnace & air conditioner picked out, but learned that AHRI certified it as 15 SEER, so I wouldn't get a ($1000) rebate from Empower MD. Contractor proposed a Rheem system with 'true' 16 SEER air conditioner, but I read a review strongly suggesting one avoid Rheem zig-zag/z-shaped a/c coils since they freeze up prematurely and they're difficult to clean. Now, I'm thinking about going back to Goodman system (about same price as Rheem, but no rebate), or the contractor says I can step up to a Carrier system, for more (TBD) money. I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to proceed.
