In the case of motors, I would personally have the tendacy to choose a good, small able builder vs a lager one. The Orion motor is great but they make so many of them and they cannot possibly put in the time that a builder like Brood would. Plus you be support a small, American company.
Beware, some small builders do not even produce their own armatures in house, but farm the work out to armature "mills" that produce piecework armatures.
FYI, Team Orion Inc. is an American corporation supporting 20 American workers.
