Looking to update our flooring nailers as we have a large amount of wood flooring (3/4 hardwood) to install this year. Up till now we have run mainly bostich air staplers, though we have one mechanical cleat nailer. They are all tired and in need of replacement.
Those of you who do this day in and day out, what is the top of the line, best tool for the job in your opinion, and why?

I have had my own business installing hardwood floors for the last 8 years and swear by Primatech. I install about 80,000 sqft a year with these nailers and have had very few issues with the tools. I started with their older model P240 with a "Trac Edge" and used it for a few  years until they came out with the new P250 with the roller base. I have used Bostich, Porter Cable, Powernail but in my opinion they don't even compare. You can replace a seal or broken drive pin if needed on the job with a single allen key in less than 5 minutes .  I also have their Q550 model for engineered floors which takes an 18 gauge cleat versus the 16 gauge in the P250. You can very accurately adjust or fine tune the exact placement of the cleat for various manufacturers products, again with that same allen key.You can see all the info on their website. Great customer service as well. They may seem a bit expensive compared to other manufacturers but that will pay off in the first couple jobs.

On a completely different subject I just got back from the auto show and fell madly in love with the 2014 Audi RS7 and the 2014 BMW M6 in satin silver ,absolutely beautiful pieces of  engineering and design. Gotta love German craftsmanship.
