I don't doubt that in general the BD brand may be the highest quality. However, they don't work for me. I determine proper needle placement by syringe plunger resistance. The BD plungers are much harder to depress which screws up my plunger resistance needle placement detection method. My go-to is Easy-Touch 31 gauge 5/16" .3cc syringes.

Injecting for over 30, How often do you inject?
And any tips or suggestions that may help us nubies?
