Quincy is the top name brand along with ingersoll rand, speedaire, and Dayton. I have personally seen a Quincy 350 industrial unit run 24 hrs a day for 8 years.
Over the years i have rebuilt and replaced many of the Chinese cheap ones and craftsman. (I had a sandblasting bussiness.) My advice is to buy a better used one than a cheaper new one. The best one i ever owned was made by Westinghouse for train air brakes and i still use it as seen in this pic.

I have an older Saylor-Beall that I bought used from a body shop. Idiots in the shop ran it without an air filter inside the spray booth. Valves became clogged and compressor stopped pumping. Bad for them but good for me...$100 later I had a made in USA industrial compressor and with a $40 worth of rebuild parts it was good as new. Quality is worth the price when it comes to compressors.
