I recommend the Husqvarna 24, it rides great!
is it a 0 turn?
Yes, there is also the Husqvarna Z254 if you are looking for something with speed.
I just care abiut durability. Is Husky reliable?
They are, and they are very heavy duty.
did you find them to be really expensive?
They aren't the cheapest, but it's worth the extra money you pay.
did you buy at a big box store or a dealership?
I got mine at a Tractor supply store. 
they are a great store! do they finance?
