PC Power and Cooling, and Corsair make the absolute best power supplies for the 550-800 wattage ranges, the PC Power and cooling being the absolute best and the Corair being the best bang for your buck. If I remember right the Ultra X-connect series sucks, and I would not trust any Ultra power supply except the X3, and thats still pushing it.

OCZ power supplies are decent, not good or bad, just average.
