Look at the materials in the interior and exterior construction. Most of the mechanical devices are from one of several manufacturers, so that will be the same no matter which brand.
I've owned a Fleetwood (They don't make TC anymore) and Lance. Lance makes a nice unit. I believe Palomino is more entry level and Lance more mid-upper level quality. In all cases, look at the unit you will buy, not a 'sample' unit. And check for good fit, good connections, good seals, tight doors and no leaks. Run all your systems and make sure everything works properly.
GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING ... do not take verbal for anything. A million posts on this forum where verbal becomes "I didn't say that, or that's not included, it's extra." Test it and check it yourself. Don't just look at it, examine it.
Lots of good campers out there, no matter who builds it. Most of the problems come later with a lack of maintenance, so once you find a good unit, take care of it and you'll have a lot of fun years in it.
IF I had to say it, Lance is probably a better quality build, but it's also more expensive. Most times, you get what you pay for ...
