when referring to quality of power I think you need to remember that ripple output is what is commonly meant. For any critical apps you want the ripple to be very low preferrably pure DC. This can be checked with an o-scope. If you stay away from the cheapies you will probably be ok. also remember these PS are now switching, (no transformers) so you really can't repair them without special equip.
