Question for all the flytyers on /out/ I'm not from this board so not sure how many that would be

My friend is opening a webshop for flytying materials
By looking at the brand samples collected from producers from every where around the world, compared to generics from ebay/aliexpress/alibaba, how big exactly is the difference?
brand vs generic wholesale flash/dubbing/thread/hooks etc.

For hooks, use branded. Everything else can be El Generico. Reason being I've had cheap hooks bend / break / blunt. I only use Eagle Claw hooks now, haven't had a problem with them. That said, I'm merely a fisherman -- I don't tie many flies. I'm sure someone with more experience than I will be along shortly.

I pick all my shit up on the cheap at craft shops and stuff like that. Except for what >>649194 was saying, good hooks are whacha need.
So budget crap will do the trick.

You should ask your friend since he is expert enough to run his own business
