I can only vouch for my personal experiences.

Had an Antec 250W durring my Celeron 433 days; that thing NEVER gave me any problems what so ever. Still is a great PSU even though it is not used other than testing.

Purchased a Sparkle 350W PSU when I built my 4 SCSI RAID setup. It lasted about 3 months then gave me problems. Mostly, it would not power back on if I shut down the machine. At first, it only happened every once in a while, then to 50% of the time. Tried to RMA it, company sent it back to me saying more-or-less " your full of sh*t." Gave it to a firend and he had the same problems. Now I keep it stored ONLY for the rare testing occasion.

Currently running an Enermax 651 and it handles my system pretty dang well. Had one go out on my however and was able to RMA it within a few days. This one has lasted about 8 months.
