I like the MK-20 first stages but you need to fix the shim problem in some of them (and I had one swivel O-Ring leak). The G-250 is a nice second stage but the poppet scores easily (expect to rebuild the G-250 every 6 months or so). For serious durability the Apeks second stage (old style Beauchat VX-10 or Zeagle Tech-50D, same reg) really is sweet. The Oceanic first stage, balanced piston, is a good solid piston first (similar to the MK-20). I've never used the Delta 2, so won't comment.
