Neville Marriner & the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields is excellent, yeah.

I don't have any "favourite" favourites, but I would say that when looking for recordings, here are some conductors and/or orchestras I tend to trust if I want a good representation of a composition (in no order)

Yoel Levi & the Atlanta Symphony
Pierre Boulez & the Cleveland Symphony
Neemi Jarvi & the Scottish National Orchestra
Simon Rattle & the Birmingham Symphony
Michael Tilson Thomas
Esa-Pekka Salonen
Kent Nagano
