Default Which brand throttle body?

I need to buy a 90mm cable style TB soon and I know usually if you ask 10 people a question you will get 10 different answers, but has anyone had bad luck with any one brand that I should stay away from? I can't picture other than tolerances how anyone could screw up a TB. It's just a blade and an opening, but I don't want to have to buy twice.

ran a couple Ebay 120$ tbs with great success

currently have one on our TT-Notch and no issues with sticking. just had to open the hole some for the IAC to fit and slot the holes in the TPS. other then that its a hole with a blade. the spring is nice and tight. snaps shut easy

ran a fast 102 and honestly besides not having to mod the pieced above the fast 102 wasnt worth it as the blade did stick some and for the price tag...ill take 4 or 5 of the ebay 120$ over the fast any day of week
