I like Dai Riki hooks, especially because of their price. They are sharper than Mustads, without their brittleness, more consistent eyes, and their barbs are smaller and easier to smash down. They do not have the same fit and finish as the Tiemco's, but they are much more affordable and Dai Riki makes certain styles that are not available from Tiemco. Biggest downside is they do not appear to make any barbless styles.
