We use an ancient Delta 5hp Unisaw in the shop (daily use manufacturing) but they likely still make the same model.
We use a 5HP for occasional 1-3/4" LVL ripping, a lighter duty 1-3HP saw would be fine for most people.
Had tried the Saw Stop brand but it ended up triggering on wet or sappy wood so we decided not to go with those. It just wasn't practical for manufacturing purposes. The best safety is strict training and staying the heck away from the blade with a pusher stick. If it's for personal or smaller scale use then it should be fine go with Saw Stop.
Table saws are ironically the most dangerous because of their stationary blades. You would think swinging around a chainsaw or circular saw would be but that's not exactly the case.
Whatever you decide on, stay safe!
