I've seen plenty name brands used and plenty cheapest-off-the-shelf used. The cheap keystone jacks always seemed to take longer because of how flimsy they are. I once had to re-punch almost a 1/3 of about 30 jacks installed in a call center room over a couple months time.

Interesting that Ortronics isn't even mentioned. In the commercial IT industry they are almost considered the gold standard, use them for patch panels and keystone jacks exclusively.
Problem with going cheep all the way is you get the cheep CAT5 (copper clad aluminum) and then you get the cheep jacks and all of a sudden you get >50% failure on certification testing:-( Had this on a commercial office complex job with over 500 wall plates, luckily you could re-punch and get things "working" but no way would it pass a gigabit certification.

Curious how many of these people certify or do any testing at all on their cabling? Especially the ones reaching for flavor of the week.
