I have a few options plus ultra and a few platinum. I like them both. Going on 4 years old, no rust, dogs have not damaged them except for one door, and my Pit Bull did that to get out. No kennel would've stood up to it, so I can't fault the kennel. I bought mine through ebay, saved a little bit.

Personally, lately, I just check craigslist for good deals. Avoid chain link like the plague. I got the platinum kennel on craigslist for $200. LOL 

Where are you located? I have some extra panels for the ultra series.

Chain Link has worked well for me for years.  I get the heavier gauge wire and they last forever.  I do like the options plus and Mason as well.  Tractor Supply or Southern States have some nice kennels as well.

I wish the L&M ones worked for me, though they're expensive. They are very nice and very sturdy. No normal animal is going to get out of them.  I bought one used once and the dog (same darn dog) trashed it and was oh-so-proud of himself when he appeared on the porch, as if I had been looking for him and hoping he'd show up, lol. This is the same dog who ruined the door on one of those solid metal jail-style crates you're supposed to buy for escape artists. I thought I'd win a prize when my dog was the first to ruin the door on one of those. The company was shocked, but I didn't win a prize. I did get a new door at cost, however, since they had been so sure that design was "escape proof". I had to send them pictures; they didn't believe me.

At any rate, look for all the above-mentioned brands on craigslist. I have gotten GREAT deals this way. It's hit or miss, of course, but worth it to check regularly. My Optinons Plus Ultras are the only ones I bought new. If I remember right, I bought a 3 kennel set-up, each 5x10, for $1200 or so. I found a matching one locally on ebay for $200 and made it a 4 kennel system....which I hardly ever use. LOL

Last year when we put new kennels in we did them in commercial weight chain link just like our font fence.  We will be moving in about 2 yrs and when we do we will be purchasing Options Plus kennels which we wish we had done this last time.
