MaxQ,
Netjets is an excellent company in the States. It is owned by the 2nd richest American (Warren Buffet) and it has a fantastic reputation.
In the States, its fleet is comprised of the following: Citation V Ultra, Citation VII, Citation Excel, Citation X (fastest non-military jet in the world), Hawker 800XP, Hawker 1000, Falcon 2000, and now the BBJ. Huge orders for Citation Sovereigns (extended version of the Citation Excel) and Hawker Horizon translate into hundreds of new airplanes in the coming years (in addition to more airplanes for the existing fleets). A separate, but related, company operates GIVs and GVs as well (separate group of pilots dedicated to those fleets).
In Europe, I believe NetJets operates Citation IIs (with Citation Bravos on order), Hawker 800XPs, and Falcon 2000/900s. To be honest, I am not exactly sure what the European fleet uses. Regardless, the airplanes tend to be brand new and the company's reputation is stellar (but don't expect to become a millionaire flying one of these - unless you sit in the back).
Good luck
