>>2232931Jetboil is faster, a bit more energy efficient, has more stable structure. They also have decent warranties and you generally know what you are getting in terms of material and workmanship. With the 20usd chinesium stoves you get cheaper and lighter sets, but then you will have to get your own pots, which aren't optimized for the system. Also the jetboil is more resistant to wind, I'd assume. I own these

Last week I made one from some leftover window sill sheet metal that I had laying around after house renovations. It isn't the lightest, but it works well.
