i've been on a list that discusses that kind of stuff regularly, for
about 7 years now. no one has ever said a bad thing about either of
those brands. (eclipse vests, on the other hand, didn't have a very
good reputation, but they're no longer made, so you don't have to
worry about them. :-) my wife and i have had widder vests since '95
at least, and they're still going strong. the leather collar lining
on mine is starting to wear through, but i was just recently told that
they'll repair/replace the collar for a nominal fee.
good luck -- you'll love it. it's a great addition to riding...

p.s. just ignore all the crazies that are making their own. they're
all nuts. ;-) (not really -- sounds like a fun project, but commuting
in new england all year 'round, i prefer knowing my warmth will have
reliability that i probably wouldn't build in to something i made
myself...)
