I’m not sure exactly how to phrase the question, but let’s consider the likes of Autozone, Advance, O’Reilly, and maybe NAPA. Probably the most common I see around me. Is there one that is known to be the most corner-cutting, least reliable house brand parts, or something?

I’m curious because I usually have no brand loyalty and will just run into the nearest whichever store to rent a tool or get a part, etc. and am wondering how lucky I’ve gotten that nothing has been an outright lemon.
