Some of the choice is what software you need to run, some of it is ergonomics, some of it is budget.

I do a lot of design work. I like Surface Books because they have good pen interfaces, allowing me to draw/paint in Photoshop. They also have dedicated graphics cards, making my 3D programs run smoother. In terms of quality, they're very well built.

Best Buy usually has Surface Books. Take a look at one and decide for yourself.
