Not cheap but gecko has had many years in the CNC motion control business.  And a rep of standing behind there product.
these are 86.7 oz/in  motors and are rated for 2.4 amps
$ 45  each so a bit more than the Chinese motors and you will need pulleys.

I can get them wholesale. You guys can always ask me and I'll check with the suppliers. Might be a good hook up for y'all. Just saying

I am pricing a few odds and ends for building a printer from scratch and I am entering new territory looking for Nema motors. I see quite a few on Amazon, but I have no idea what I am looking at to be honest. Can someone recommend a reliable Nema (14+17)?
I know Solidoodle offers some on their site, but I would prefer to not have to pay their upcharge and outrageous shipping charge.

76 oz/in  at 1.5 amps.  half the price of the others.

some advise I got. get only motors that have the data sheet or you can download the data sheet. and look at the specs.
the NEMA spec is only frame size.  so there can be a range in motor length amperage rating and torque rating.  and steppers have the most torque when holding.
And make sure your control board will handle the amperage of the motor.
gecko drives has a whole section on selecting the right stepper and stepper theory I can give a link if folks are interested.
