I can't really comment on who is the best white metal model manufacturer in 20mm is as I a) don't wargame WWII in 20mm (really in 15mm and 28mm) and b) I build ONLY 1/72 and IIRC most 20mm is 1/76 to 1/87. However, there's one comment I want to address.
You said you've seen white metal castings that are bad. So what? I've seen plenty of resin castings that were bad...even plastic injection molding that was bad! The problem isn't the medium, IMHO, but the quality control at the manufacturer or the technique used. Take a look at Games Workshop stuff; high quality castings, and some of them can be quite large (as large or larger than a tank chassis in 1/72!). So the capabilities of the medium are there, just that the perception that white metal=wargames and resin=serious model is, I think, too persistent in the hobby.
