Default Better tie/tower bars than others?

For upper and lower tie/tower bars, is one brand generally better than others, or are they all the same? i.e. is Spoon better than Neuspeed? Thanks.

But why Spoon not any good? Thats what I'm trying to get at. What makes one company's product better than the other?

neuspeed lowers are great, cheap and built well.

spoon, mugen, skunk2 upper front and rear bars are superb.
neuspeed upper front is a better choice for a tight budget.
carbing has a superior 3 point design for front bars, I think there is a groupbuy thread in this or the ITR forum

rigidity, weight, cost are all things to consider when buying a tower or lower tie bar. some people also want to avoid cutting rear interior panels so they are forced to avoid mugen and skunk2 rear upper bars.
