Really most of them are built very similarly. The quality probably changes day to day. You may want to focus more on specific features. Some are built with wood frames and aluminum cladding. Some are built with aluminum frames with fiberglass sides. Nearly all have rubber or TPO roofs. Most probably have plywood directly under that. There are plusses and minuses to the various construction methods. Some swear by one, some swear by the other.
The previous warning about water intrusion is applicable to all of them. It can ruin just about any trailer. Maintenance is key. Eternabond on the roof edges, and caulk everywhere else (over simplified of course).
There are other construction methods and models not mentioned so far, like Oliver. I would consider them one of the better built and most likely to be long lasting. But they're not cheap.
