I've had them from the international aisle in morissons and from holland and barrett, never noticed a difference. They do take a bit of trial and error to get right ime - they can be a bit spongey and strange if you don't manage to strain them enough. It's not hard though so don't let that put you off.
I have these pretty regularly, usually in a stir-fry or curry, they're good! I usually soak them in v hot water for a bit, before squeezing most of the water out, then throwing in the curry/fry. Since they soak up the fluid nicely I'd imagine they work well marinated but I've not experimented much.
