This sounds a simple question, but it's actually one of the harder ones to give a meaningful answer to, and I doubt that anyone can give you a reliable answer to your question.
To clarify one thing, call break-up is meaningful but the number of bars isn't. That's purely a matter of presentation, and tells you surprisingly little about the signal reception: different manufacturers, different models from the same manufacturer, even different software releases on the same phone can show different numbers of signal bars for the same signal strength. Changing the integration time over which the received level is calculated also changes the behaviour of the signal bars dramatically. But none of this has any effect on the actual connection quality, it's all just cosmetic.
So the simple rule is that you can't compare signal bars between 2 different phones, it's almost meaningless. Indeed I remember cases where manufacturers "fixed" reception problems just by tweaking the signal meter behaviour (detailed investigation showed that there was no difference in reception or the ability to hold a call, but the complaints went away because the phone was showing more bars...).
In fact it's probably impossible to give a solid answer to your question. For one thing, reviews these days don't even try to assess reception. But to do this meaningfully is actually a lot of work, especially since phones cover many different bands and protocols and there's no reason a phone must perform the same in all of them. Radio reception is finnicky, so to get anything more than anecdotal observation you need to put in far more technical work than your average reviewer even understands. And of course there can be variation between samples of the same phone as well as between different models, so if you only have one phone to review how do you distinguish those? The truth is that, as has been said, most are fairly similar.
The other thing is that we don't know what band/protocol you are relying on for your reception. As said, there's no law that says that a phone must behave the same in all of these. So if I told you that in my experience (anecdotal) phone X gave very strong voice reception that could be based on the GSM1800 band (the main 2G band used by my service provider). From the time you posted this I guess you are in the Americas somewhere, and if you are in North America you are definitely not using that band. If you are using a CDMA network you wouldn't even be using that protocol. So without knowing at least what carrier you are using, ideally whether your main connection is 2G/3G/4G, there's no way of knowing whether our personal experience is relevant to you at all.
So putting all of that together, I don't think it will be possible to give a definite answer to your question. Someone might say that they have found brand X to be good or brand Y to be bad, but it's unlikely that they've done a systematic comparison as opposed to using one phone (and perhaps changing network when they changed phone, which they may not mention).
