IMO, it really depends on the individual oboe. Both Loree and Laubin are good makers, and there are other very good makers out there (Covey, Yamaha, Howarth, Rigoutat, Marigaux, Patricola, Greenline, Fox, Josef -- lots of good oboe makers these days).
I don't think I would necessarily rate Laubin as "the best". Some people think Covey is the best. Some love the Josef. The new Howarth is getting excellent reviews, too.
I've heard various folks go ga-ga over this or that instrument, or say they "hated" a particular instrument. I think the truth is that every maker has their excellent examples and their so-so examples.
You have to try them to find out whether the one that is available to you is a gem or a dud.
