Since Brad hasn't answered yet, let me give it a try.
I would probably lean in the direction of the Tseng chip set, but only
because pop-ups and pull-downs will respond faster due to an architectural
difference in the chip logic.
As far as name-brand vs. non-brand. The benefit of name-brand hardware is
that you will generally get a better supported product, whether it be
technical support, documentation, better drivers, or better board design.
As far as any one specific brand goes, I can't really help you there, but
for Tseng based boards, look at products from Diamond, Orchid, STB, Sigma,
Cardinal, Focus, and Everex (all of which ship with Panacea drivers – and
in most cases you can pick up a cheap (less than $200) upgrade to our
Deluxe software).
