I just went through the same thing. I ultimately ended up buying Britax Marathon after reading reviews and watching their videos about their additional safety features. I also wanted to buy a seat that will last so I don't end up needing to buy another one in the future. They're on sale on albeebaby.com so that was the clincher.
yes super frustrating...so many choices and so many opinions!
For oldest son we got an Evenflo symphony that I loved, the only think I didn't like was that it was super heavy : /
For a booster we got him the Britax frontier with 5 point harness....LOVE everything about that seat! its light, easy to install, great reviews etc.
So for the twins, just last week I saw on Albee baby they were having sale on Britax and I've had my eye on the Britax 70 for them, I got two for 25% a piece and free shipping! I was so excited to find them on sale, free shipping and they have wonderful reviews! I am very happy with my purchase!
What I did was just narrowed it down to my top two....thought about it for a while and after our good experience with the britax booster, it was really a no brainer but I wanted to keep my options open. good luck!

I'm like that when reading reviews, too. We have the First Years True Fit convertible seats and are happy with them. The ONLY complaint is that the tension is a little difficult to adjust when in the RFing position, but it's not that big a deal.
I know. I was so overwhelmed that I kept delaying the decision. We finally went with the Sunshine Radian since we could theoretically fit 3 across in the van if we wanted to. I like how streamlined they are.
