What he said is the equivalent in Remo's.

I also played remos forever (they were the only choice when I started playing). But I can switch back and forth to Evans or Remo - they're pretty comparable. And if you're gonna spend the money, you might as well play what you like.

I, however, like how the white coating on the G1's and G2's last longer, and manage to stay white longer. When I use Remo's, the spots where I hit will start to blacken.

The Remo Powerstroke 3 is my favorite bass drum head, but the Evans EQ3 (or 4?) the one with the ring built into the edge - I think the EQ4 has an additional ring you can take out - is on my bass drum right now. I think quality control for both companies is the same.
