In general, lean towards the cars from the parent company Hyundai who have really cleaned up their act.
They have become a world leader in terms of quality and reliability for the last 4 or 5 model years for nearly every car they make (check out consumer reports).
Sadly, that hasn't carried over to Kia and in fact the Tucson which is the sister car to the Sportage has far better reliability. Where it's built apparently matters quite a bit.
