Name brand or generic rails

[namelessname120]

Making a list for a future ar pistol build and I'm somewhat at a crossroads with rails. I looked at Yankee hill, Seekins, Troy and all the name brand rails starting $100 & up. Then there's the ones on eBay, the no names and generic brands (UTG). Am I better off spending the $100 & up for the rail or just get a generic brand (UTG) for less? What's the true difference other than dollar value?

Go name brand at least you know you will get everything you will need to install. Also quality, fit, and finish is usually superior. A lot of no name brands either are other than aluminum, like steel or cast metal.

Yankee Hill. Too quality, minimal price, super light. I have the carbine length lightweight rail, I absolutely love it. Its free float as well.
