Rehau, Duraflex or Enlighten double glazing?

I've heard double glazing installers refer to three different brands of glass for double glazing.
Namely:
a) Rehau
b) Duraflex
c) Enlighten
Would anyone have any comments on these brands of double glazing glass, or are there any specific questions I should be asking to determine which brand of glass is best?
Thanks!

Baldwindowfitter is a resident forum source on this but a couple of points:
Rehau and Duraflex make the plastic profiles. I have Duraflex- it is OK. Rehau is claimed to be better but they also make an inferior cheap profile so beware that you do not get this. I do not know about Enlighten.
Moving on, the windows will depend on the quality of fabrication, the sealed units and the ironmongery. None of this has any relevance to the profiles you mention.
Think of a car - what you are asking is the equivalent of "should my new car have an aluminium body, a steel body or a fibreglass body?" All these are relevant points, but you need to look much further and consider the glass, the ironmongery, who fabricates what, what guaranttees are offered, who installs them etc.0 -

Thanks Furts. I've found three profiles which they manufacture, links below, so I wonder if it's the first one below which you refer to?
