My best guesses / opinion
Sachs- SRAM improved
Avid- SRAM back burnered / degraded over time?
RockShox- No idea if they have gotten better or worse after SRAM purchase
Truvativ- SRAM back burnered
Quarq- No idea
Zipp- No idea, Zipp always seemed to have reliability problems.
TIME Sport pedals- TBD

Just one note...SRAM killed Sachs after they bought it. The chains were the only components to soldier on( which originally were Sedis) The New Success level components were very good and had carved out a decent niche in the market ( less in the US), but the big parent company lost interest in the end and sold the division off. At the time the companies had some kind of a dispute over grip shifters if I recall, so it seemed an odd marriage of former competitors/combatants...
