I will chime in based on experience.

Scat rods and cranks are top notch in my book. I use them predominantly in almost every engine that I do. Callies advertises that their Dragonslayer cranks (which I've used as well) have journals that measure within .0003" of each other.

I have never seen a Scat out more than that either....

In all the Scat cranks and rods that I've used, I've had to send back one single rod. Not bad.

Now Eagle on the other hand....I ordered 3 crankshafts for a BBF and they all had nicks in the journals and out of round journal dimensions. I've also heard Barry Rabotnick say that he's seen a hand full of FE crankshafts fail...and most of them were Eagles.

CAT and Pro Comp are nothing but utter pieces of junk.

I've seen Pro Comp distributors fail, I've seen the roller rocker arms seize up on the dyno, I've seen the valve cover bolts on their heads drilled so far off that it causes valve cover/rocker arm issues.

Junk.

The bad thing is that I get slammed on various forums for saying these things. It's a shame that people have to find out for themselves.
