Brownells house brand are currently manufactured by Faxon. I have a couple Group Buy Faxon and the chamber dimensions are very close and have been gtg. If I couldnt get a Group Buy Green Mountain barrel Id get an Alexander Arms or Faxon.
In the current market I wouldnt buy anything cheaper, ramped up production has a tendency to adversely affect quality. It really depends on what your willing to spend but rarely do you read on this forum of people complaining about higher end barrels. My best shooting barrel is a Shilen and it did cost the most. If I were looking for a quality barrel Id look at Lilja, JP or maybe Criterion for readily available barrels. Odin works get pretty good reviews on this forum.
