Some brands are constructed of more durable/high quality materials than others. Northwoods RV, Lance, and to some extent Jayco, are among the better brands.
Now... if you don't care if your bed base is made out of plywood or OSB, or if your cabinets are real wood, and you basically want something to sleep in, any of the brands you listed will work.
All brands use the same batch of suppliers for components such as refrigerators, AC, cooktops, water pumps, etc. Not much difference there.
The main concern I would have is frame construction and axle quality. Make sure the axles are not overloaded at the GVWR.
Any trailer will last a long time IF YOU KEEP IT DRY. Store it under a shed if possible, and be diligent about sealing all seams, running lights, and roof penetrations as needed. They should be thoroughly inspected twice a year. Lots of good advice on that, on this site.
