How much do you want to spend? Do you want a lounge seat or not?

The best hot tub is going to come from a dealer that will be in your service area.  Find out the dealers in your area, see which ones are reputable and then check out the various brands they carry.  Sit in them dry to get a feel for them, then schedule a wet test.  The feel of the jets and the ergonomics of the tub are paramount. 

Once you have narrowed it down to a few, flesh out the differences and go from there.

Go by what you're able to purchase in your radius, and which dealers sell what, vs trying to zero in on a brand.  The brand may not be available in your area, or its tubs may not feel comfortable to you. 

Do the leg work.  Find out what works for you.  Then report back to this forum.  Numerous brand experts here will help you winnow down the finalists at that point.

I hope this helps.  Good luck moving forward.

It's not possible for us or anyone to tell you what brand is the best for your family. Sorry.

I'll offer this - I had 5 people in my "8 person" tub two weeks ago for the first time.  With a lounger that is definitely max capacity.  If I did not have the lounger I think 6 people would have been doable but still a bit tight.  Not a chance at 7 people (adults) in any configuration in my opinion. Unless you're plan is to sit straight up and be entirely uncomfortable.

My Bullfrog A8 is about 94x94.   If you're going to rock 6-7 people with any regularity I think you're going to need a lot more than 84x84.

Both very nice tubs if they are comfortable to you.
