Consumer Reports is located in Yonkers, so they ought to know a thing or two about bagels. According to the magazine, Dunkin' Donuts, Lender's Original, and Costco are the best choices among the major brands. There's still no substitute for a real New York bagel, though.
Thomas' Bagel Thins are a decent option if you're watching your weight, though they taste more like rolls than bagels according to Consumer Reports.
You can read more about the bagel taste test on ConsumerReports.org.
