I don't play fingerstyle, but my wife does. It all depends what you want. If you want that "clang" Martins are good and Sigmas nearly as good but a lot cheaper. It is easy to lose the beauty of the melody in a lot of "tizz" particularly if you play hard with metal picks and tend to pluck the string upwards rather than push it downwards. I know some players who are very struck on the big Gibson J200s and J 250s, and I like the sound a lot too. I have also seen 3 very old Gibson SJs (dreadnoughts) and I think they sound very nice without a sort of "look at me" shoutiness. The Epiphones might be worth trying. The Jumbos seem to give an articulacy in the treble as well as a nice solid bottom. If you don't want too much boom, try the Finnish Landolas (jumbo not dreadnought) made out of birch. They look the biz, almost as white as Johnny Winter, and can now be had with the wood pre-aged in a kiln for a slightly more mature acoustic and visual aura. Very tight sound, very clean, not at all floppy. My wife plays an old Hagstrom (very rare, big roundshouldered dreadnought, with a proper saddle not a tailpiece). Much the same shape as the new Framuses but bigger I think, and with a 15 fret neck. It has a dark and mellow, almost sinister, sound, but a bit short on sustain for some tastes. But at least it avoids the "banjo effect" sound that some of the very light-topped modern guitars have. I would say Maton 6-strings and Takamine are noticeable for this, and I feel it to be a failing. Some of the modern British luthiers are very good. I don't personally like the Fyldes to excess but I do approve of the zero fret construction, and I notice almost no-one dislikes their sound. Northworthy I feel sound a bit average, and there have been rumours about the stability of the Kincades. Manson is hard to fault (the luthier, not the other one). Brook are getting rave write-ups but I've never heard one. Some Taylors are very nice, but they are very dear indeed (I know one person who has two. One cost GBP (not dollars) 4,000 and the other GBP 7,000. The dished-back Guilds are a bit edgy for my taste. A good Lowden is very nice with a sound that ranges from a choirboy in a cathedral if you play gently to the death bell if you play hard - but there are a lot more average ones than the really nice ones. But they are probably dear in the USA.
