Ubisoft for one single reason unimportant to the majority of gamers: Their (PC) games always come with several languages, not just (in my case) German. I hate hate hate translated games and Ubisoft are practically the only ones who don't sell single-language-locked versions.
EA was most recently a bad counter-example, as I bought the new Alice in English from amazon.co.uk and it installed in German. I had to tell Windows to pretend to be in England (or the US) for it to install the proper language. Dumbasses.
I'm actually a huge Valve fanboy, but Steam's language systems seems more like an accidental side-effect. My Steam is English, my games are installed as English. I hear if Steam is in German, getting the games in English can be a hassle sometimes.
That, and they barely publish anything, Steam just gives me everyone else's games in my preferred language. I'm not even sure who to thank for that...
Also, between the Splinter Cell Trilogy (what are you talking about, there is no 4th or 5th game), Prince of Persia and AssCreed, Ubisoft made a lot of amazing games. Valve made 3 and a half amazing games. Megamazing, but still.
Oh yeah, made made; Ubisoft is not just some publisher. They made those games. Which, incidentally, makes for very short "Look at every studio's logo" screens

Sony, they actually seem to care about their first party devs. Zipper's MAG and Socom 4 undersold, but Sony has already got them working on other projects. If Zipper was with EA, then Zipper wouldn't have been around any more. If only they didn't have the ridiculous online pass.
Valve.
If I had a decent PC, I'd be playing their games all day everyday instead of Call of Duty on the PlayStation 3.

Things with EA were looking up, before DA2, Origin and all that crap.
I mean, sure, they still had 30 DLC items for ME2 before it even came out, but, they weren't being too big of dicks.
So, I'd have to guess, I'd go with Valve however.

even though i don't like some of their games, valve is pretty awesome.
also i like square enix quite a bit, usually never disappointed published/developed on what side they do, especially with Deus Ex HR.
bethesda isn't horrible either.
EA tries too hard sometimes...and they cross the line just a tad bit on lining their pockets rather than thinking of what the customer really wants.

Valve is probably the highest, then say squareenix and capcom if their having a good day.
Does insomniac count? idk how popular their stuff is, but if they do, they id actually put them second.

I love Bethesda. They gave me the franchise I love the most, TES, and did a good job with Interplay's Fallout.
Also, I like what Sony dishes out for the PS3. Their games are usually solid and interesting.

Nintendo. Zelda. That is all.
...
And Metroid.
...
And Mario.
...
And Pikmin.
Valve is a close second. It would be first were it not for the fact that they cock-tease Episode 3 with every announcement they make. Not sure if that's intentional, but damn, it's annoying.

Bungie and Valve. Valve has some of the best games period, and I think the astoundingly long production time is worth the quality. Plus mods for Source. :3 And I've been with Bungie's fanbase since Marathon and I haven't really had complaints overall about any of their games. The fanbase of Halo? Ehh... but the games are all solid. And I did play them all.
