Actually, all of the manufacturers you listed above make great sets and you left out a few real important ones such as: Ludwig, Sonor, GMS, Pork Pie, Premier, and a whole group of custom drum makers.
I own a 7 piece Tama "Rockstar" set, my old Slingerland set and an old Rogers set. I own about 7 different snares that I use and switch off for different sounds. I prefer the Yamaha, Pearl and Tama hardware. I prefer the Pacific/DW hi-hat stands and I prefer the Yamaha pedals although
the DW 9000, Tama "Iron Cobra" or Axis pedals are pretty incredible. There is a lot of competitition between the manufacturers in terms of quality which translates into a good thing for drummers. There's a lot of real good quality out there to select from. It never used to be this way.
For my money, I'm saving to upgrade into an entirely Yamaha Custom Birch or Maple recording set (5 piece shell set without the snare), 22" kick, 12" and 14" mounted toms, 16" and 18" floor toms. This is about what I usually play although I have a 10" mounted tom in addition to my Tama set that I sometimes include, but I'm finding that it just crowds things too much, so I've been leaving it off. DW is a really gret manufacturer but a bit overpriced. I can't justify the additional $1000-$1500 over the Yamaha set when I like the sound of the Yamaha just as well. For a total of $1500 I can get a 6 piece shell set of Tama Starclassics in Birch that will also rival the Yamaha and DW, but I really like the Yamaha set,though that "Starclassic" set is looking more attractive all the time.
When I began playing, the selection was Rogers, Slingerland, Ludwig and Gretsch and that was about it. Everything else was just junk. Sonor wasn't even available in the states. Things have certainly changed.
