In this age and time I would list them as follows:
1) STI and SVI is a tie (a mix of the best parts and hand and machine fitting)
2) Norinco (for the tenacity of the steel and value)
3) Colt (for obvious reasons)
4) Springfield Armory and Dan Wesson is a tie (this generation's out of the box quality)
5) Rock Island Armory/Armscor (best value if you are in a budget)
the other more expensive ones are attributable to a higher labor cost (gunsmiths just giving it more tender loving attention)
