From my limited experience:
(price is for bell & shipping for a 35 lb one, just for the sake of comparison)

- Ader - $86 for 35 lb – very nice quality, smooth, arrived in great shape
- Wright - $73 for 35 lb – not as smooth as Ader, arrived with significant paint chipped off
- CFF - $56 for 35 lb – haven’t tried this brand yet, want to for my next one due to price

ETA on 10/3/11:
- Wright - as recommended below, I contacted them, and they responded with fabulous customer service, resolving my issue above and beyond
- CFF - can't say the same, not a positive customer experience, can't recommend

my wright one arrived in excellent shape and is holding up fine, although it's not terribly smoth (which i prefer). i would call them about yours; they have excellent CS.

i received some of these as a gift and they're holding up great also; very smooth.

all of the cff ones at my gym are chipped to hell. if i was gonna buy some more i'd call wright.

I bought the Ironmaster adjustable kettlebell. I already had their dumbbell set so I thought they would make a good kettlebell. I like that I can change weights.

I bought a CAP 45 lb from Amazon for a pretty good price plus free shipping which is the killer usually. They're nice and smooth. Great quality with no problems so far.

They've got some even better prices on other weights. A 50 runs $63.54. The 35 is $47.54.
