Just as a story, I just replaced a generic bathtub drain assembly with a Moen one, and the difference was night and day. The Moen bathtub drain assembly is a high-quality unit, and is well worth the price compared to generic options. It seems to be a bit heavier than the old drain generic assembly, and is solid metal.
While the fixtures that came with our house are Delta and Delta does make a drain assembly, they only make a toe-operated type, and I am not fond of toe-operated drain assemblies, so I went with Moen. The difference in finishes is only minor and doesn't bother me much (plus Moen includes a matching overflow plate, Delta does not). So if anyone installs a drain assembly for a tub I highly recommend Moen.
Note that Moen only makes their drain assemblies in a 1 1/2" drain size, so older homes with 1 3/8" are unfortunately out of luck.
