At least where I have lived, CH breakers are very hard to find

Everyone is stuck on Square D. I think Cutler Hammer type CH is superior.
Copper bus bars AND the breakers have a spring clip on the prongs where they
attach to the bus bar fingers. Square D QO does not.
Do NOT get Cutler hammer type BR. That is an old design merely bough out by
Cutler Hammer, not the original.

styles: one by Murray, and two from Square D - the red and the blue. I've
priced both the boxes and the circuit breakers and there is a big difference
there.

would appreciate it. Thanks.
