That would depend on the quality of the optics as manufactured. Having said that, newtonian optics are easier to make to a high standard than sct optics which are more complex with more components and surfaces involved.
As for image brightness, I doubt you could pick a difference between a newt and an sct of equal aperture at the same magnification.
