whoa. There are different types of machetes. Are you looking for a light grass and jungle type. Or do you plan on using it for chopping. The Jungle machetes tend to be thin and made to work your way through grass or jungle. They are easy to swing for long periods.
The chopper type blades are made to act as wood choppers and usually have a thicker blade that can be used for batoning while splitting wood. I don't find straight up machetes to be super useful. I like the heavier blades that can be used for chopping wood.
Swamp Rat (Busse Knife Company) makes some great knives. They use high quality SR101 steel and are highly regarded. They are pricey too. Here is a 9 inch blade that can be used for chopping or heavy machete.
