When it comes to bipods, Harris seems to be a quality, go-to brand for a lot of folks. Any other brands that would be recommended as far as overall quality/durability?

Atlas.
Atlas is THE quality bipod. Pricey though. When you factor price/quality equation, it's really hard to beat Harris which is why they're so popular.
Full disclosure, I run Harris and Atlas.
Skeptical on Atlas until I found it has a lot more levels of adjustment and usage.
I have 3 harris and 1 atlas for my rifles and what I have found is more room to go lower and higher.

I believe in peace, love and extremely violent weapons systems... just in case that whole peace-and-love thing doesn't work out.
Accu-tac makes an outstanding, high quality bipod. Their bipods are milled out of aircraft grade billet aluminum. They're not cheap though.

The Harris is fast to deploy and stow.
Atlas is slower (and needs two hands) to get the legs to move.
For prone shooting, I like the Sinclair Tactical Bipod:

I still feel like we are on the cusp of some huge evolution in shooting gear that leads to an integration of chassis, bipod and tripod all into a systemized approach.

It's that simple.
Atlas.
Spendy, but that’s why I have in on an ADM QD mount.
Knights Armament makes a good bipod as well as GG&G. And as every one has said, Atlas.
Here is a good Atlas vs. GG&G video

I've used both Atlas and Harris bipods over the years. The Atlas seems like a much improved product over the harris which seems very dated. Importantly, I find the Atlas (with the non-rotating feet) easier to more consistently load, or maybe better stated as my inconsistent loading isn't transferred to the bullet as much.
The KAC bipod is interesting, and had it been in stock when I bought my Atlas I probably would have went that route.
I think deployment speed is a moot point. That's a task you should be doing while doing something else. IE, as you get into position you are deploying your bipod. Not a step to be preformed in a sequence of steps, ie get into position then deploy bipod.
I started a thread on this about a year ago, short answer is that Atlas and Harris are both good but the former is superior, if you're ok with the price. I ended up getting the Atlas and it is very nice, but is more tedious than I expected without the QD mount. As a cheaper solution to that, I bought a KDG rail section which is also pretty solid.

I have a few sizes of Harris bi-pods. The Atlas are great but when you look at carrying a rifle with the added weight for days on end the harris wins out. Yes the harris is a flex flier but it does get the job done.
