I think that if you can get a good example of a Besson 981, you will be hard pressed to find something better. I usually use a 982, which isn't bad but the 981 lead pipe gives a lower (and IMHO more comfortable) mouthpiece position.
A friend of mine has one, and switching from my instrument to hers with the same mouthpiece added a 5th to the top of my range without trying.
The Courtois Eb wasn't bad, but I felt that the build quality was a bit suspect.
I haven't really played the Yamaha or the Wilson enough to give a useful opinion.
