You want the most rigid one you can get. If it's tiny and flimsy, then why bother.

theres a big difference the cheap ones will flex when you turn and will not do the job proprely, and the more expensive ones will not flex and you will feel a big difference between the cheap ones and the expensive ones, it does not matter how big the cheap ones are most likley they will flex when you have them in your car.............

look for bars without hinges on the mounting points, common sense would say they flex less. A good example is the Neuspeed upper front strut bar. Mugen front and rear also are hingeless.

More expensive does not necessarily mean better. The DC sports one is one of the more "flexy" one, but is one of the more expensive one.

The JDM Civic type R and Integra type R are some of the best, but can be found for very reasonable prices compared to the aftermarket ones. Hingless, heavy construction is generally good, but the Mugen one is good and light - contradiction in terms eh?

So, to answer your question, no they aren't all the same, but pricey doesn't always mean better.
