The fact is the brand you see is almost never who made it.  A few
companies actually build them, and they sometimes will use a generic
design for multiple brand/models of power supples, variying the cables
and a few compononets in some cases, and other times they do a custom
design for exclusive use of one customer (where customer = power supply
brand, not end user).

So it all comes down to who made it, how it was made, what the design
is like, what components were used in building the design, etc.

What the brand does control is picking those values, and providing
support and service and of course the warrenty.
