I have the Daikin.
The remote is pain in a**

Needs exact alignment with the led. Blue star or any other remote in my other ACs works without pointing so during sleep if you want to change the temperature settings it will almost surely wake you up

I had installed Daikin 1 tonne , 4* AC last summer. It's been a pretty good experience, it was a massive upgrade from my LG AC , which was ass tbh. The cooling goes crazy in that super cool ( i don't remember exactly the name of the mode ) and , at times i had to actually turn the temperature up , when it got too cold so yea , i think Daikin is your best bet , their service in general is pretty good ( 4 free services, 3 availed so far and this'll be the 4th one ) and have faced zero issues.

Any model in particular? And why not Daikin ?
Another big question is - We used AC 2 hrs in the noon and 2 hrs at the night at max. Salesmen suggest in that use case, i should opt for 3 star instead of 5 star rating. I want some clarity on this

To recover the amount paid extra for 5 star it will take more running of AC to save amount on electricity.
That's the funda, so if u are using 4 hours per day and not 10 hours per day then the per month bill difference may be 200 per month.
So to save 10000 that u paid extra for a 5 star will take 50 months to recover which is long time(summer is 4-5 months per year)

.
(The calculation is just to give an idea)

My Diakin AC had so many issues I would suggest to skip and get LG.
Remote blew, capacitor blew 3 times now, the swing flap broke from side motor twice.
Each time its A 1000-1500 Rs Expense.
The quality is mostly shit.
LG on the other hand is solid and has 5yr warranty on PCBs.

Bluestar, Carrier, Voltas are currently good in the market. I'm from construction industry and deal with Hvac vendors on regular basis and that's why I am suggesting. The best would be Mitsubishi heavy industries but that would be too expensive.
