To the OP - just find something you think you may like, then Google the brand, the product, discover what sort of quality you can expect.

I have peak performance suspension arms, not a super JDM even a well known brand (most if not all their stuff is discontinued), but I felt good buying old used arms because they have easily interchangeable, high quality Aurora rod ends whereas Megan, ISR and such, while they may currently offer a higher quality arm than what they initially did, they still utilize cheap rod ends that makes them worthless to me.

I don't think it's ever brand per se, but more of quality where it counts.

I bought a Greddy hot pipe for my car years ago, spent $120 dollars on a piece of aluminum pipe. Total waste of money I could've had an identical pipe for under $20 but I used to brand jockey hard, these days it's just quality > all, no matter the manufacturer.
