I really don't know how you could distinguish the quality and performance from one to the other, too many to list, they all serve the same perpose, to eliminate that loud Clack sound made when firing. I always use Tuffer Buffers, good price and made in Canada, have used others but never noticed anything better/worse, the only difference I've noticed is how they fit into the reciever but that's not the pins, it's the small differences in the buffer pin holes on every gun, some slide right in, others need to be coaxed...
