sourcing getrag parts

I've been sourcing kits (bearings, seals, synchro rings) and input shafts. Here's what I've got so far:

Standard Transmission
kit: $516.62
shaft: $171.06

ManTran
kit: $311.09
shaft: $86.36

Quad4x4
kit: $439
shaft: $180

Why the big difference in prices? Does anyone know who has the best quality? Apparently, many of the bearings are made in USA, but no guarantees. The shaft, however, is almost exclusively imported (For example, the ManTran one comes from India). Thoughts, opinions appreciated…
