Another thing to consider is startup time. If you are swapping materials a lot, a latex is much slower to start since it has to wait on the heat and requires a lot more leader than a solvent. Another thing to consider is piezo vs thermal heads. I haven't used a latex other than HP and the HP have thermal heads. My experience is that the color on thermal heads tends to "drift" more over time than a piezo head. Since thermal head degrade over time, the color is more apt to change. That said, piezo heads tend to clog more easily and are not user swappable. The other side of that is that thermal heads can be swapped by you. If a head goes bad, you aren't shut down. You simply pop in a new head. With a piezo, you have to do a service call (unless you are very technical and brave). That could lead you shut down for a couple of days. I used to have an Epson and it would literally brick your printer if you were passed your "scheduled" maintenance package.
I agree with signhermd, print/cut sounds good, but it ties up the printer while you cut. You can print a heck of lot faster than you can cut so if you have a lot of printing, keep the cutting on an independent device. The worst would be finding out you need a quick reprint and having to wait for a half hour while the cutter finishes up. I think print/cut is great for small volume.
In my experience, the HP is the most reliable and easy to operate but they use a lot of heat which can be problematic on some materials. In addition, the ink will wipe off with alcohol or if it isn't cured properly.
Mimaki printers are work horses but can be a bit quirky. We have always had issues trying to run multiple Mimaki's at the same time on the same Onxy RIP. They are quick to start which we love and only require a few inches of leader. Your success with Mimaki depends on your dealer. Mimaki doesn't support printers directly so if your dealer doesn't have a good tech, your in trouble.
The Epson has a great color gamut. We had the 10 color surecolor with the Ultrachrome inks with orange white and silver. Silver & white clogged constantly. Even though they sold it at the time as a "wrap" printer, the orange would fade in 6 months. We learned that the hard way, when we did a bright orange wrap only to have to redo it within a year. One of the main reasons we bought it was color gamut for wallpaper. Although the color was great, we couldn't get 2 panels the same length to save our lives and I am talking about a print could be off by an inch over 8' and yes we calibrated it constantly and it didn't seem to matter the material. The silver was a disaster. It would just rub off on your fingers. Our experience at the time with service was less than stellar since they spent a few months trying to help us fix it and then just gave up and said the printer was "performing in spec, good luck". Take this with a grain of salt since I bought my Epson in 2014 and this was only my personal experience. I still don't know if I had a lemon or it just wasn't a great model of their printers. Either way, I am sure they have worked out some of the kinks since they have multiple endorsements here. I know folks who have Epsons and LOVE them. Epson is definitely a industry innovator and they make a great print head.
For cutters, we have both a Graphtec and a Summa. They are both solid choices, but I had to choose, I'd go with Summa. We have had very few problems with our machine which is not over 10 years old. Their support has been great.
As Whitehaus, mentioned, a good dealer who will support you is critical to your decision.
Again, just my 2 cents...
