Swagelok makes the very best hand tube benders. (and are extremely proud of them... look for used ones instead)

Others I like are Imperial, Rigid, Weatherhead, and Parker in no order. All are close to the design in Denny's first bender picture.
I'll try for a picture this evening.

I think I also have one Reed bender but like it less because the little holder is fixed, it doesn't swing out of the way like the rest do.
