The biggest difference in quality is going to be whether they are made of mild steel (can rust, costs less) or stainless steel (rust resistant, costs more). Even NFab makes both mild and stainless steel steps.

Some steps are made of aluminum, but they are rare.

I'd been checking these out recently myself. I had the chrome factory steps. I liked them, but wanted black and didn't want to paint or line-x my chrome factory steps. I really liked the N-Fab steps, but the only reason I didn't get them was because of the steps themselves. I think they look great since they hug the body, but I wanted a little more step. Also wanted the bulk of the nerf bars to stick out past the body a little bit. I chose the Westin Platinum Series. They are stainless steel, powder coated black. I had Chrome Westins on my '97 F-150 and they held up great while I had that truck. I'm hoping these will be the same. Here's a couple pics, just got them today, installation was simple.

Excellent choice. Westin is about the only one that makes black powdercoated stainless steel 3" tube steps. Lifetime warranty too.

Thanks! I did look for another manufacturer for powder coated stainless, but like you said, I couldn't really find any others.
