What about Furlex furlers? I don’t have enough personal experience to judge which brand is better, but I liked my Furlex more than the current Harken. This might be a question of a model, but I hate the way the Harken (A00) attaches at the bow. You need 3-4 hands in order to attach the headstay (with the furler) to the chainplate. And the clevis pin is complex (and expensive (around $80) (http://ca.binnacle.com/p7445/HARKEN-CLEVIS-PIN-ASSEMBLY-5/16-INCH-UNIT-00AL/product_info.html)) and have a tremendous propensity to jump into the water.
It looks like the new Harken furlers (MkIV) don’t have this issue. The short story - check how the furler is installed, before you buy.

In our opinion, they are the best. I have had a Harken MKIII furler on Touche' for 16 years with no issues. Dennis C.
