Probably lodge is better quality than any other brand;got to be a reason why is the only manufacturer still on business,I have one of each brand and I don't see any difference on performing,some people are willing to pay a lot of money just for a logo,
Lodge and BS&R bought into automation, that is why they were still around longer than the other two.
It was basically a four horse race near the end, Griswold, Wagner, BS&R and Lodge. The ones that went automation survived, at least for awhile.
I would add Favorite to the list as well. I've never seen a poor quality casting with the Favorite logo on it...
Some people collect Wapak... but I don't think I've ever seen a single wapak item that didn't have casting flaws and defects.
