Are most new sub baskets the same?

I have been looking around for a couple weeks at new subs for an upcoming build, and was wondering if most companies have been using the same baskets and different magnet structures? The SSA's and FI's and TC's are just a few that looks similar. Is the design of these baskets something I should look for because the engineering is better and is a sign of a well built subwoofer? Just looking to explore the idea a little bit.

I also noticed that most 12 spoked baskets offered some type of "enhanced" cooling in the descriptions too.

There some some small differences. Some offer cooling vents at the bottom. For the most part the common basket are 4 and 12 spoke as well as 6spoke in the 18".

using this baskets doesnt not make a sub any less then another. They still offer an 8" spider landing which is plenty for most drivers.
