Vanwonky, you'll never hear a manufacturer call their equipment "pretty decent, does what it's supposed to do". By this is mean it's all just marketing. None of the mass produced focusers will be as "ultra smooth" as 3rd party ones like the feather touch or moonlite. Your main concern here is whether or not it's 1:10 as this will be greater difference between their performance. Mbaddah has given you a pretty good run down of differences and IMO they all perform about the same and they'll all require some sort of modifications to get them running right.
Best bet is to see them in person, be it at a star party or in store. What ever you choose, you'll have a wonderful tool to start observing with for many many years and youll be gob smacked when you view your first DSO.
Clear skies
