They are all reasonably priced and good quality (both with and without the focus confirmation chip - not quite machined up to Novoflex standards, but much, much less expensive - and if you want Leica-like quality, they sell the Novoflex adapters, too). Steer clear of the adapter for Rollei-QBM, it's pretty crappy. The tab to depress the aperture pin breaks off easily, and the tolerances from adapter to adapter vary quite a lot (actually, the Rollei/Zeiss lens bayonets are not masters of precision either, and the same applies to some Contax/Yashica lenses made by (for?) Zeiss in Japan. The adapter for Canon FD to Canon EF is a little dodgy - if you want to have infinity focus, you have to put up with an extra lens in the system - it's passable when you stop down to around 5.6, but leaves quite a bit to be desired at wider apertures Their adapters for Leica-R to M and C/Y to M are very well made, too.
