You mean the breakers in the board? I use Westinghouse which I bought from T. Alonzo. They assemble the panel boards themselves, using your plan. Prices are much cheaper than if you buy at the department store hardware.

I mean as a whole sir. from the tub, guts, and breakers.Because some panels in the households sometimes uses siemens for the tub while using sq d for the guts and breakers and vise versa.

sorry sir,

guts = backbone of the panel.where you plug/bolt your breakers and mains
tub = this is just the box and where you fix the guts.

Sorry, I have not used branded tubs and guts. The important thing are the breakers. You can't go wrong with established names. Remember, the breakers are meant to protect your house. This may not be the area in which to save money.
