Which wire types are you considering?

Pro tip: buy small until you find what you like.

I am using Kindey Puncher kanthal A1 wire at the moment: Kanthal A-1 30ft Spool

And I have just ordered Kuken Tech Clapton & Twisted wire for a new sub ohm rta I have ordered: 2109 Fat Rabbit Solo RTA-Hellvape - The DIY atomizer leading brand.

From what I can gather, they are both Kanthal wire. Clapton wire & Twisted wire

Kidney Puncher is quality stuff, one of the better widely available options, I have a ton of their stuff and have always been happy with it.

Not familiar with the other brand, *guessing* that is Chinese made. I generally try to avoid Chinese wire as much as possible, stuff like Sandvik or Temco (Western made wire) are generally higher quality with less impurities.

This isn't an anti-China thing, it's just generally agreed upon that their wire is not as high quality to the best of my knowledge.

Most or all of the Western wire brands like Kidney Puncher is just Sandvik or Temco with another label slapped on it. Sandvik owns the kanthal trademark, so they're the only ones who can sell their wire labelled 'kanthal', most others call theirs A1.

Temco wire is available directly from them through their Amazon storefront, or it used to be anyway.
