Oneway, but there are three caveats--price (around $6000 for a Oneway 2436), size (the lathe can swing 24 inches over the bed, so you can assume the whole machine is huge) and availability (Oneway lathes are made to the turner's specifications, and it takes a couple months to get one from the time you order it). It also weighs about 700 pounds if you don't put any sand in the bed tube.
The flipside is that lathe is so powerful you can adjust the speed to 100rpm and still be able to do work, and it's practically vibration-free, so you can make better turnings.
