I had an Osborne. It was a bit awkward and I passed it along to my son in law. For angled cuts, I prefer to use the Rockler sled. True up the 90 to the blade and it's spot on for any other angle. If I were to get one, it would be an Incra.

On the recommendation of members of this forum, I bought the Incra 1000 and have never regretted it. Solidly built and very accurate if initially adjusted correctly.

I have an Osborne, it works just fine.

too long to remember...
the Incra sure is sweet...

There was a mitre gauge test by Fine Woodworking about a year or so ago. The Osborn scored around lower middle. Best was the JD Accumiter but it looks like they may have stopped making them. The Kreg was considered a good choice for the money but in absolute terms it didn't compare with most of the Incra ones. One thing to watch for with the Incra gauges is that some of the mechanisms are quite large which may affect how much guide bar is in the slot before the wood contacts the blade. I think it was one of the 3000 models which had an especially large adjusting mechanism.

Im.juat going to get the basic v120 is replace the craftsmen one. If i decide.i newd a fence ill get the one Mule makes, so it will match my rip fence

Tom something you may need to look at is a guide bar that can be adjusted to take up any slop caused by wear in the saw's miter slots. Incra® Miter-Slot Slider Bars - Lee Valley Tools

I have an Osborn EB-3 like the one Norm Abram had in his shop years ago. I've found it to be very accurate with the following caveat: Take your time setting the angles and don't rely too heavily on the detents for 90, 45, etc. Make sure the stop fully enters the detent or there could be some flex. The guide bar has three Allen set screws that adjust the bar for various slot widths.

Same as Chuck, I have the EB-3. No complaints.

@Charles
I have a JD accumiter had it for years, they are expensive and they still sell them 269.00
Works fine no problems here.
