Best Publisher?

What publisher(s) are considered the "best" when it come to suggested fingerings? A friend mentioned Henle Verlag so I got their copy of the Little preludes and fugues by Bach and in comparasion with the old copy I had by Wilhelm Hansen Edition the fingerings were more satisfying in the Henle version. So just curious what you all think.
Apart from that I´d like some input whether these books
http://www.amazon.com/J-S-Bach-Inventions-Sinfonias/dp/0739036866/ref=pd_sim_b_img_2
are good or not for a "semi- beginner". Im looking for more detailed explanation of ornaments and more suggested fingerings then the Henle version had printed.
I would be thankful for responses and suggestions.

schirmer and dover, because they are typically edited by great pianists.
henle ususally just has the composer's fingerings, and little in addition.
if you're doing bach and want fingerings, go with schirmer.

Alfred's Palmer edition of WTC has some good fingerings as well.

I have found the Henle Bach fingerings to be marvelous. I love them.

my bach henles never have fingerings. i wonder if they've changed.
i've never trusted palmer. i prefer to trust pianists who were able to perform the repertoire they edited.
