This would be a great place to start:I'm using an older from TomTom - 510 model, which I've never had any problems with. One feature that I really like on my TomTom is the ability to use the Bluetooth connection with my mobile phone for the traffic updates.

No experience with Garmin myself, but I have TomTom 920, which is basically the 720 with Euro map and voice activation.
I like the 920, very easy to use, and for the most part is very accurate. The response is pretty fast (say if you miss a turn it is very quick to recalculate), and once it's power on it doesn't take too long to acquire a signal.

I believe the garmin has nicer graphics, but the refresh rate is not as fluid as the tomtom

take a look at amazon on each product and see what people says about them. lots of reviews and you can get an idea which one you like more.
