For patrol I've exclusively used Safariland, and a similar thigh rig for SWAT. Occasionally at work we wear a soft uniform (5.11 shirt and pants) so they issued us all Blackhawk Serpa holsters.
I dislike the Serpa because it doesn't accommodate the weapon light and it requires a different method to disable the retention device, something I wasn't comfortable with. I stumbled upon KTMech and gave them a try simply because they were priced a bit lower than the other brands and had a quick delivery (I received mine in about a week from ordering). I didn't want to spend too much on a holster that I only use a couple times a month from when we have in-service/classroom training.
Having the holster about 3 months, it's working out nicely. Based on appearance and feel, in comparing to the other brands I haven't found it to be of inferior quality (for reference off-duty I typically carry in Milt-Sparks or Comp-tac). It draws nicely and retention is fine. I did drain my batteries one time, as I inadvertently activated the WML while inserting it in the holster. I know with my duty holster it will click off the light when the weapon is inserted, not sure if this happens with other similarly styled holsters.
