"Hager" will most likely get the support of the professional installer.

I agree.
Another vote for Hager.
This has been discussed to death many times.
The conclusion is to leave the choice to the electrician that is doing the work.

Hi
I'd thought I'd ask as things seem to change quite often. I'll be doing the work hence myself asking.
popcorn time? 
Hager for me. They look the part as well.
Seems like that's the way forward. Had a look at a few and they do look good also. Now just to decide of to run everything off rcbo's...
To run everything off RCBOs is going to cost a bomb. I'd go for the usual spilt on 2 RCDs then maybe a couple of circuits of RCBOs.
Probably, although you don't know how many circuits there are.
TBH you'd probably only what a shower(maybe) and outdoor electrics on RCBOs. I'd stick the rest on as normal. Most houses I know only need up to a 10 way board. Im having a 16 way Hager fitted just for future expansion but not really sure its needed.
I like to put the lights and an essential socket circuit on rcbos.
Hager / Schneider are the best boards.
All RCBO doesn't really cost all that much if you're on good terms with your wholesaler, and I'd much rather do the job once and do it right.

An all-RCBO board, made by Hager, total luxury.
If you can afford all-RCBOs, then go ahead. It is a far superior job, where nusiance tripping is concerned.
