Geesh, I know Ricoh has a full head of steam after introduces the c651,C751 series, they also have the 720 (72ppm no slow down for thick media) and the 901 (90+ppm with no slowdown for thick media).
The latest and greatest is the C651,C751 series and the color is awesome.

Sorry I meant what are the top digital presses from each of these manufacturers? I should have been more clear.
Actually, I think you were clear and Art answered for Ricoh, the one he knew about.
Art's answer was complete for Ricoh, so I'll answer for Canon:
The Canon c6010vp and c7010vp 60 and 70ppm, with no slow down for heavy stock.
You can also get them in the "non-VP" version which slows down for heavy stock.
Now you just need answers for Xerox and KM.

For Xerox, the 110ppm iGen4 is considered it's best color production press.
The Color 800/1000 Press is however a great less-expensive option for many buyers. I have a lot of hands-on experience with this press, and I am still always blown away by the quality of the output from it.

Thanks everyone for their input.

we got em, they just gotta chime in!
Here's the "KM gal" :-) chiming in, but remember that I am not a sales rep.
Current KM color production models:
bizhub PRESS C8000
bizhub PRESS C6000, C7000 and C7000P
bizhub PRESS C70hc
bizhub PRO C6000L
Current KM color production models:
bizhub PRESS C8000
bizhub PRESS C6000, C7000 and C7000P
bizhub PRESS C70hc
bizhub PRO C6000L
Higher end buyers might also look at the Kodak Nexpress. The Nexpress line competes more closely with the Igen.
KODAX is about to go out of business.

Shaja, are you still selling C65hc inventories or are you now selling the C70hc.
Kodak,,,,looks like no takers for the brand?? I'd be shocked if they just shut the doors, maybe they'll do a chapter 13?
But, I agree they are in dire straits and should have sold two years ago when they were being courted.

They are going to sell all non inkjet printing and all non-production printing patents and downsize significantly.
Good lesson for everyone about reacting to the inconvenient truths before its too late. Kodak made too much money off film to accept the transition to digital and never recovered.

I didn't include the C65hc in my list because the C70hc would be the "latest and greatest" per the OP's question. The C65hc is still considered a current model.
