Having worked in cargobike workshop, I quite like Christiania and Nihola, especially with Promovec motors. They are quite repairable: easy to diagnose issues, good backwards compatability on spare parts. They are also affordable while being decent quality.
Brands I would specifically avoid: Babboe, Cargobike of Sweden, Seaside, Amladcykler.
Go for hydraulic disc brakes in the front. Be wary of any design that has limiters that prevent you from turning properly. Go for a narrow model.
Black Iron Horse's Pegasus has a cool design: a wide box but the front wheels are hidden inside. It also turns with the rear wheel for extra smooth steering.
