I have only vintage planes which I really like, having said that if I were to buy new I would go with Lie Nielsen as they are modern copy of the Stanley Bedrock planes which were IMO the best.
You can easily get buy with ( 3 ) planes #5 for rough work, #7 to flatten and a #4 for for finishing. I have most of the size’s from a #3 thru #7 and use my #4 the most. If I am working on larger work I will bring out the #5 Jack plane and my #7 Jointer. Just my $.02

PS: And for what it is worth I have several wooden planes which I equally like, once you get use to learning how to adjust they are great.
