Default Are all injector brands created equal?

I don't know much about injectors, but from the limited search material available, it seems SVO & Bosch are the same and Delphi and Lucas are the same? Are the SVO/Bosch any better or worse than the Delphi/Lucas? Any clear advantages or disadvantages to either one? I want to go with some new injectors in the 37-42# range so I was wondering if they're all the same or what.

the LUCAS is typically a disc-style injector, while the DELPHI is a pintle injector. It has been stated in the past that the disc-style injector is not as prone to clogging as the pintle-style injectors, but with the advancements today, I don't see that as an issue anymore. Most all injectors are the pintle-style injectors.

Most people I deal with have more tuning issues with the Lucas compared to Bosch, Siemans, Etc
