I think I'd feel safe saying this:

Centrepiece large models: Battle Flag

Adobe-ish Structues and mid-level buildings: Sarissa and some of the Battle Flag "normal" kits.

Cheap and fast: Gamecraft

Fully involved buildings (with interior furnishings) but less interior details: Tri-City Laser

Wagons: 4Ground

There are plenty more MDF shops doing similar stuff too, I just don't have experience with them.

That being said, with enough work, any of the above can be turned into beautiful pieces...just depends on the work you want to put in.  You can see in some of the other threads the awesome work people are doing with the cheapest, smallest buildings.

That is probably true, especially for the devoted OW gamer, but for a casual player like me the Battleflag buildings do the business with minimum work.

Some useful comparisons there thanks, I'm pretty sold on Battle Flag myself but not handed over the money yet. Knowing me I'll end up with one of everything.

Going back to the original building, which looks sweet btw, are those interior pieces from Frontline or somewhere?

Couldn't find the hotel on the Battleflag website. Is it a discontinued item? I reckon suitably re-roofed it would so admirable service ina variety of other settings.

Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo
