As far as comfort or fuel effiency? My Volvo was pretty comfortable, but it had alot of electrical problems as Volvo's tend to. I hear, the new International Pro Stars are good in fuel, as are the new Freightshaker Cascadia's. I've never driven either, so this is just hear say. I want to test drive a Cascadia, and had an opportunity twice..... next time, hopefully I will. They're also suppose to be comfortable.
Alot of people like those Kenworth w900l's but I didn't care to much for driving one. In my opinion the Volvo blew it out of the water for both comfort and fuel effiency.
Everyone's going to have a different opinion. Oh, and I see your status is a trucker wannabe..... if you're planning on leasing a truck, I'd wait until I had more experience. I know you're not going to listen me, or anyone else if you want to lease your going to lease..... but please consider the fact that diesel is over $4 a gallon right now, and tow bill is around $500 etc....... good virgin tires are going to cost you $500 to $600 a pop.... that's just naming a few things.
Check out the business plan threads etc.
