American Standard once owned Trane, and the furnaces are pretty much identical.
I have a 10 year old Trane high efficiency that I have not had any trouble with.
I really like the York Diamond 90 furnaces too. They look very solid and have a good reputation.

It is really hard to compare them unless you have access to some recent installs.
Some are noisier than others.
When I installed mine I used canvas connectors to reduce vibration and noise as direct drive fans are much louder than the old belt drives. I would also consider now the variable speed blower motor, much more efficient...
