Open Pro aren't bad rims, but they're pretty dated and I don't know that I would jump to the conclusion that they're better, just because they're branded.
R501 rims aren't wide, by modern standards, but they are wider than classic, narrow rims and in that regard they are better.
And I don't recall reading of R501 suffering from cracking around the spokes...
