I would argue that it's a little more model specific than that. Pretty sure the Tekton and Pittsburgh composite ratchets are the same. Surprisingly inexpensive (I don't think Tekton offers one anymore though), very comfortable for a basic ratchet, and super low back drag (felt, not measured) with a little grease (in both cases).
I want to say the Icon and Tekton roto heads are very similar as well. Though that's veering off a bit.
I have the old Pittsburgh Pro flex head in 3/8. I think Tekton's versions are nicer. Better flex joint area, nicer comfort handle. That said, it's been a very good ratchet. I've warranty swapped it once... After many years of use, and even loaning it to a coworker for two of those. It wasn't a catastrophic failure... It started slipping.
I still use the replacement regularly. It's a good ratchet for the money. That said, increasing the budget marginally gets you a tool that has better attention to details, where if it fails, the company will supply you the stuff to rebuild it. Nothing wrong with either. Just a matter of what you want to spend.
Gearwrench would not be my first choice these days for a lot of things. However if I was in the market for an inexpensive locking flex head, I would consider them I suppose. I've had mixed success with getting them to warranty their failures... And their products aren't what they were 10 years ago. Where HF has stepped up to their quality and offerings with some of their tool lines, and Tekton has coming out with new stuff often while having fantastic customer support.
It's kind of a time of plenty in regards to affordable, serviceable tools. What's your use case, proximity to stores etc. Those all help inform your decision. I know e commerce lessens that impact, but it's still a consideration.
