In a truly free market activity we're well advised
to establish design goals achieved within boundaries
set by honorable behavior.
The term "quality" is non-quantified. "Zero defect
manufacturing" comes as close to being a quantity
you can wrap your arms around but still doesn't
speak to design service life, variables in service/
maintenance, accident, etc.
From a perspective of anticipated performance, we
KNOW that it's expensive and nearly impossible to
predict any device's utility with accuracy. This
is why failure tolerant design and (in the case
of batteries) preventative maintenance monitoring/
or replacement is a good thing to do . . . no matter
what brand of product you're using. It's usually
those pesky "variables after the sale" that make
for unhappy days in the cockpit.
Unfortunately, even the best examples ("been
run'n this here XYZ Battery for 6 years . . .
it's never missed a lick!") are not well
quantified either. So when it comes to
risk of watching lights on panel go slowly
dark, the purchase price, 4-color advertising
and/or faith in a particular suppliers integrity
doesn't count for much.
Bottom line is that it's not difficult to
craft and maintain the reliability of an
electrical system with anyone's parts . . .
but it demands some attention to detail.

Which to me means a reputable source as opposed to an unknown.
I also realise that just because something is brand new out of the box does not mean it will live up to the advertising and in my career have hade many a bad brand new part. I am trying to say here is that preference wise, the chance preferred to be taken , is with the reputable manufacturer as opposed to the unknown.
My logic also goes back to my time in the Boy Scouts, "Be Prepared" which in the age of cheap crap foreign or domestic is even more important.
