Gas heaters are simple devices and I bet most brands are OK. Go with
price, appearance, and warranty is what I say.

A vertical vent is most preferred since it is a more effective vent.
Horizontal runs are common since it eliminates the problems associated
with cutting holes in the roof. So, horizontal runs are kept to the
minimum just one run to exit the wall and then straight up from there.
Both solutions are acceptable practice.
