Drop Coil Spring Differences

Are there really differences in coil spring quality and spring rate between the popular vendors that offer coil springs?

I put some 5" drop coils on my '72 Jimmy and was wondering if 5" drop coils would have similar results from all of the vendors..

It seems with 5" drop coils installed I have between 3" - 4" between the bottom of the frame rail and the top of the axle tube.

If I went with a different set of 5" coils from another vendor would I still have a similar ride height and would the spring rate be different (stiffer or softer)?
