My experiences:
Jakroo - very high quality and durable. Very comfortable bibs for long rides. The particular models we chose were not a true race fit (which I prefer), more just standard club wear. Very reasonably priced for what you get. I would go with them again.
Hincapie - a racier design than the Jakroo. I didn't like the bibs at all but the jersey is great. Pretty durable. Reasonably expensive but not ridiculous. Don't think I'd go with them again as the bibs just didn't work for me.
Castelli - great Euro race fit, extremely comfortable for long rides. Unfortunately very fragile and very expensive. The ~$200 bibs were completely destroyed after one season, that's unacceptable to me. Really put me off the brand in general, to be honest.
Went with Rapha this year. Haven't received them yet, but they were Not. Cheap.

I've been pretty happy with the Black Bibs Ultimate bibs, I would like to give Starlight a try (the company behind the Black Bibs). Very reasonable prices and the kits look good.
