A lot of major manufacturers use Keller shells so their quality is pretty well proven. As far as plys and shell thickness, the thicker the shell, and thus the more mass, the higher the pitch. Reinforcing rings also raise the pitch a bit. Thinner shells have more resonance. So, for snare drums thick shells and reinforcing rings may be desirable. For toms and bass drums I like thin shells. Hope this helps.
