For the most part,there is only one set of tooling for a part.So it's usually down to guage of metal and whho's closest(or has free shipping).The quality,except for guage thickness is usually identical.The only guage thickness issues I've seen were on front inner fenders,but if someone can cut a corner and make a nickle more...they're gonna do it.
So basically find the closest vendor or the one who will ship free.Usually BB vendors will meet or beat just about anybody eleses prices.
