In terms of fiberglass CSX cars, some owners prefer the earlier cars built in Vegas, while others have opinions on the cars sourced from Mexico or Africa.
When it comes to aluminum CSX cars, some owners are concerned about whether the body and frame were sourced from Kimmons, Kirkham or from England. After all, Shelby charges a hefty premium for the CSX1000 series over the CSX4000 aluminum cars. And when it comes to the cars sourced from England, some might prefer one of the earlier cars sourced from "AC" supposedly built on "original" tooling from the 60s (but the tooling was apparently sent to the junk yard in the 70s). On the other hand the newer CSX1000 cars might be better in some way than the earlier "AC" versions.
Further, it seems that the Kirkham sourced CSX cars usually go from the shop in Poland to Utah and then to Vegas, but the 50th Anniversary aluminum cars apparently go from Poland to Africa to Vegas.
To reiterate, some people can be very concerned about the variation of their CSX, while others are not concerned about that at all, but for those who care about the details, supplier names like Kirkham, HST, etc. are going to be part of the opinions you might hear when discussing the pros and cons of a CSX.
