I've never been a huge Desert Eagle fan, mostly because of the size of the weapon. I like the Sig Sauer family of weapons, as well as the H&Ks, Glocks, CZ's, and Baretta/Taurus family, as well as the venerable 1911 .45 design, of which I've owned a half dozen or so. Currently the only handgun I own is a Sig 229 which is a phenominal pistol. Easy to shoot and never jams. I have my eye on a used Glock at the local gun shop (model 23) but who knows. I like the glocks alot for their rugged function and durability, but Sig's have all that with a much better trigger pull.
