Loeb
Teubner
OCT (Oxford)
Reclam in Europe
Germany has a many publishers of bilingual classical texts, used book stores near college campuses have them by the boatload

Teubner and OCT are the gold standards. Loeb and Reclam have facing translations and are cheap, the former in English the latter in German. Reclam does have some monolingual versions.
Don't buy new, used texts are plentiful and cheap, especially of Homer. If you don't have access to a good used bookstore go to abebooks.
As the other anon pointed out Teubners are slightly larger than OCT though I find the text layout in OCTs to be better. Teubner has better critical notes. Pic related is two editions side-by-side, OCT on left, Teubner on right. Both are from Statius' Thebaid, book V, centered roughly around line 440. You can clearly see the difference in presentation. Teubner has fewer lines per page on average but it excels in the critical text in the footnotes.
From my experience Teubners tend to be worse in terms of physical quality. I own a couple and have read/handled dozens more - they are particularly prone to spine issues. Handle with care. They also are usually quite expensive, odd considering Teubner was originally founded to provide cheap books to students and laymen seeking to read the classics.
Also from my experience newer OCTs have some quality issues as well. They changed the printing method, paper and glue, I think sometime in the late 90s or early 00s. Older ones are solid as rocks though. I have several pre-1960 that are in great shape and showing no signs of weakness. The oldest is a book of the comedies of Terence from 1908 which aside from some slight cover wear is in fantastic condition.
Don't buy print on demand garbage. You will only come to regret it.
