It depends on which type you want to use and the firearm you putting them on. Warne and Talley mounts and rings are strong. Leupold and Burris dual dovetail rings are strong too. Talley,Warne, and Leupold are probably the best for the money in QD rings. I have Talley light weight rings on my Rem 7600 pump. They don't have a separate base as it's part of the bottom half of each ring.
