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.

The leupold, redfield and others with a single rotary dovetail are strong enough for most applications and allow a bit of windage to be set with the bases. The lightest and strongest are the weavers. They are also the cheapest. On the down side they aren't the prettiest things and the old style rings can be a bit of trouble to cinch down without pulling the reticle out of verticle alignment. Once locked they never turn loose. The rest are oK but most have their own drawbacks. Look in the Brownells catalog. There is a bewildering array of mounting systems available and most work quite well if properly installed.  On my personnal guns I use mostly Redfield/leupold and a few weavers, with a few Beuhlers and a representatives of a couple different verticle split rings..
