More expensive ones will generally have tighter manufacturing tolerances, so more likely to be round and flat.
But whether or not that difference is noticeable when everything is covered in mud is debatable.
One component that really makes this noticeable is track chainrings. Cheap ones really aren’t that round and will give the chain tight and loose points during rotation.
