Are there major differences between OSB brands?

I have a choice of several brands for what I need, GP, Weyerhauser, LP, and something branded as Roy o'Martin. Any one of these better than others or are they all basically the same. I tried googling and got nothing except for some complains about Norbord brand and a page that claims all brands except one (doesn't say which) leak air right through the OSB.

I'm just curios if anyone knows whether some companies use better glues/processes in making theirs than others or if one brand is known to be better.

What is it your trying to do?
I've never paid attention to what brand it is, I order a hack ( a pallet load) and installed it.
Never once had an issue.
As mentioned OSB is not and water or wind barrier, that's the house wraps job.
