I have a Shark that I really like. I got it at Bed Bath & Beyond. Mine shuts off, which I like because I tend to be scatterbrained.
I don't use steam anymore. I seem to have trouble with my irons when I use it. Now I just use a spray bottle of water or starch etc.

I love my Shark. As SusieQOH mentioned, it has auto-shutoff, but I think it's after 15 minutes, which works for me. It also heats up really fast, so it doesn't take long for the iron to be ready again. It seems to be well made but wasn't expensive. Stainless plate.
It produces a lot of steam, and the reservoir is clear on one side so you can see the water level. It's also easy to fill (my old iron had a very small hole and I had to hold the iron at an awkward angle and generally ended up spilling unless I was very careful, so now being easy to fill is a feature in my mind).

I have a Rowenta and I really like it, it gets really hot really fast and does the job.
I know that brand is not popular on this board, but other than have my last one die from old age, I've never had a problem with fire (I always unplug and move my iron as soon as I'm done mostly because I have cats that love to jump up on my ironing board and my iron would go flying, ask me how I know) or leaking (I don't put water in it, I use a spray bottle of water when I want to steam fabric into submission).
