I have both Yeti and RTIC coolers and for the price you cannot beat the RTIC.
I bought my Yeti's well before their announced "anti-gun" position, hence why I went RTIC.
The distributer was my neighbor, nice guy though, he didn't agree with their philosophy and ultimately left the company.

KONG. Kong's largest is 110 I believe but I have 2. There great latching system and handles beats all the rest. I did my own ice challenges against most listed above and hands down KONG won.
 
RTIC or Orca - use the RTICs regular every year, couple of Orcas in the boat as well. Really couldn't tell between the two, without seeing the brand label.
 
I'm in the market for a new, large cooler. Ideally looking for at least a 150 quart size.

What is the best value cooler out there nowadays? It would need to retain ice for a least 5 days.

I know Yeti has a strong following, but there's no way that $680+ is value for a cooler (at least in my eyes).

Any opinions? RTIC, Coleman, Igloo, Orca, others?

"Not" what you're asking but have you considered a small chest freezer? For <$200, https://www.lowes.com/pd/Idylis-7-1-cu-ft-Manual-Chest-Freezer-White/1000196499
 
Canyon Cooler
I guess I am the only one that uses them. Our local Co-Op has them at a great discount and I can wet age a whole deer in the 125qt.

Check out the 150 quart Igloo at Sam's Club for <$70.00. It's rated for 5 days. I've got one I use in my 5th wheel and it doubles as a coffee table with cup holders. LOL
