Sometimes it is a good idea to go with the more well known brands until a company has built up a good reputation and good word of mouth is spread about how good they are. Some don't want to take a chance with a new company, some will.
Some companies will not use anyone but the better known brands because of their experience and their colleagues's experiences, they can't afford downtime or to have things shipped here and there, they want it done now because time is money, to some it is a little bit, to others it is a lot.
I have always heard great things about Hotsy, Alkota, Landa and Delco, the other brands out there I have heard both good and bad, some more bad than others.
It all comes down to your personal choice, you can start a thread to see what brands people prefer and maybe that will help you decide.
