Do you think there's much difference if getting either Vistatherm or Pilkington glass installed as the glass used in new double glazing?

Thanks!

VistaTherm is a brand name for insulated glazing units (of varying specifications) made by a company that processes float glass. Pilkington is a company that produces float glass (of varying specifications) which it then sells to processors.
Both companies only sell new glazing.

When I've asked double glazing installers which brand of glass they would be using, I had different companies say one or the other of these brand names.

Would there generally be much difference in either of these brands for double glazing glass?
