I have their rear bar and I'm happy with it. There's nothing magic about a bar - it's just a spring, so it's just a matter of getting the stiffness you want and that's primarily bar diameter with some minor variations due to geometry. The important thing is that it should be bent the right way and fit well. The Mini rear bar is pretty simple in that respect and the Eibach is fine. Better quality bars also have ridges or rings to keep the bar centered on the bushings. The Eibach bar doesn't have this, but the bushings are up against a bend, so it isn't going anywhere. As far as I can tell, Eibach is the cheapest one out there, and I can't see any reason to spend more.
