Recommendation for a good gas BBQ?

In my experience the BBQ is a disposable device because the ignition function always breaks, other pieces rust prematurely and keeping it really clean long term is near impossible.Granted, we haven't spent a fortune on ours, but even the latest higher end Weber had the usual problems. So, I would go with gas but forget most of the fancy extras like stainless, side burner, coffee maker accessory, mysterious "turbo" buttons, etc.
We took the opposite approach to Lonnie and got a Lynx (http://www.lynxgrills.com) natural gas grill -- we got the lowest end 27" grill (without rotisserie or special burner or anything) but it's still pretty pricy. However I don't see any real wear after several years of fairly heavy use (we probably average at least 1 grill day a week). My parents also have a similar Lynx, still going strong after probably 10 years or so.Having a natural gas grill definitely lets us grill more frequently -- no worrying about refilling the propane or lighting charcoal.
I recently had to replace our grill. Went with the Kenmore from Sears. It's been great. Comes in various sizes and # of burners. We got a bigger one than we really need because we use it for the block party in July and a couple of times a year at church.
I just went through the process of buying a grill and I actually ended up going with a Weber Charcoal grill and am very happy that I did. I initially wanted to get a gas grill since that is what I had always used, but most of the gas grills now are either too expensive or have way too many accessories. I finally found the Weber charcoal grill for $90 and couldn't resist the price or the lack of parts eventually breaking. I highly recommend going with the a charcoal grill, you will never look back.
