Can't name any others, but I love the Petrucci models.

Re: Neck profiles
I almost bought a Sterling JP100D on the spot; I still sort of regret not picking it up. This is more emotional than anything, but everything on that guitar felt/sounded so right (although I'd just bought a Jackson SLX, so...)
To quantify what I like about them; a fairly thin, flat neck which is my preference. I can't say I remember how the profile transitions from the nut to the body, but it feels *really* comfortable. The body shape is a bit bigger and quite comfortable. Although I don't usually like Dimarzios, the Crunch Lab sounds pretty awesome in that guitar; smooth, uh, crunchy. The fretwork out of the box was really nice, it was set up with low action and played smooth with bends, I find they come across better than similar-priced things sitting next to them. I don't know how much different/better the US models are, but it (and the similar JP model sitting next to it which isn't quite as vivid a memory) were just very solid feeling guitars that are built to about my ideal preference, and it also looked beautiful. I've picked them up since whenever I see them at guitar stores, and am always impressed.

Re: Neck profiles
They (both the neck and the machine) just have to be setup and ran properly, and then it's basically the gold-standard,,,,,, IMO.
