I am not so sure if there are great differences in quality between the 
bigger brands, but Vandervell is regarded as one of the best for British 
cars. However the main thing is that you choose the tolerances and 
surface finish of the crankshaft properly and measure the play of each 
journal with plastigauge. Go near the tight end of the tolerances given. 
You may have to swap shells to get all tolerances as equal as possible. 
Same with camshaft, but not so critical.
