ETL AND UL ARE EQUIVALENT. CE also requires the same standards as UL and ETL, though, CE allows self certification.
ETL is done by a ver reputable company called Intertek, UL is obviously it's own company. both are NRTL (nationally recognized test labs). They are both held to the same standard and test and implement the same IEC safety standards and tests. Saying one is worse that the other is silly.
For CE you want to look at the declaration of conformity for the product and see what standards it is declared to be compliant with/tested to.
In the USA most companies that get CE marks are working with UL or Intertek to get the same safety standards tests as if they had. UL or ETL mark, but are rather pursuing an international rather than USA centric product release.
The REAL thing you should be looking for is not the STAMP, but what safety standards the device was tested to. I e. IEC 62368-1 which replaced IEC 60950 and IEC 60065. 60950 was originally a UL standard that harmonized with the European standard to become an IEC standard.
It is very easy to get a UL listing for something that isn't even safety related and you can put the stamp on your device.
Sadly the stamps themselves don't tell you much. Assuring that the devices are tested to sensible IEC standards is what matters.
Please don't use your personal anecdotes as an industry guideline.
I say that, because I've been seeking out more devices with UL ratings lately, due to the quantity of products that I have purchased with CE and ETL logos that have either failed silently or catastrophically. None of the UL listed items have even blown up or melted on me.
