PE summit series / T6 would be my 1st choice (obviously, see my sig), but also check LOPI, and the Jotul Oslo w/ optional griddle... For ultimate in cooking surfaces, see Harman TL300 or Oakwood: cook tops, optional grill attatchment, optional rotissere attatchment (w/ an electric spit!), the ultimate in a cookable woodstove that is not a cookstove.
 
I also was going to suggest the Alderlea T6 for it's flexibility in providing multiple cooking temperatures. It also does a fine job of baking potatoes in the firebox.

There are also some nice dedicated wood cookstoves out there by Esse and Heartland. There is also an Amish cookstove called the Kitchen Queen that has a big firebox.

Any big honkin step top steel stove. Gives you two surfaces with two different temps for frying the bacon and baking the biscuits. A Lopi Liberty looks about as wide as a Kenmore range.

We had great breakfasts for four days while the power was out and they came off the top of our 30-NC.
 
If I had room for such an install, it would be the big PE T6 Alderlea with the wings, or the Harmon Oakwood which is about like a big fancy grill that heats your house, by the time you look at all the attachments. Our local dealer has both and we looked at them hard. But we figure the most we would really do is roasts and stews/soups, and we think just about any of them will do that sort of cooking fine. (so far two venison roasts and one beef stew agree) If I wanted a cook stove that also did heat, We would probably do the Deva100 from Hearthstone, or the one from Australia, the Baker's oven.
