I own an 8 qt. Presto, a 22 qt. Mirro and a behemoth American Foundry 41.5 qt. canner.
The Presto is made of stainless steel, which is a just a tad easier to clean versus aluminum. All three work equally well but unless you do a LOT of canning, I wouldn't buy anything larger than an 8 quart size. It's perfect for larger cuts of meat, stews, etc.

One last word of farewell, Dear Master and Mistress.
Whenever you visit my grave,
say to yourselves with regret
but also with happiness in your hearts
at the remembrance of my long happy life with you:
"Here lies one who loved us and whom we loved."
No matter how deep my sleep I shall hear you,
and not all the power of death
can keep my spirit
from wagging a grateful tail.
