Disclaimer: I happen to have both memberships.
Quality and brand preferences can be subjective so I can't comment on that for everyone. But all I can say is that I've never had any quality issues with Sam's as such and any time I did, they fixed it. I've had more surly staff at Costco than at Sam's. That always makes me wonder why people eulogize Costco service, employee quality as well as standing by their products and offering reliable returns policy. I also do prefer smaller package size at Sam's. 2 vs 3 loaves of bread, 4 vs 8 lbs of fruit and so on. Even with a family of 5, I find it hard to finish giant pillows of greens or the mega cheese bags without it rotting or we getting bored. I've found a good balance for our family's shopping needs. Once in 2 weeks curbside pick up at Sam's and a quick dash once a week at Aldi less than a quarter mile away for replenishing basics.

Costco store brand products also tend to be better quality in comparison.
Sam's leaves Costco in the dust when it comes to products selection and variety. Costco often will have a grand total of 2 options for some products, i.e. 1 store brand and 1 mainstream brand.
I also have both memberships and rarely go to Costco. Scan&Go might change my mind if Costco's dinosaur IT folks ever implement that.
I also have both Sams and Costco and I find value in each. I think Costco has more frequent/better sales on premium products like Apple. I also think Costco carries better clothing options, esp. for women. Sams has slightly smaller amounts in some products which works for our 2 member household. Sams is also 30 min. away and Costco 1 hour. I get enough rewards on each to pay for upgraded memberships so will keep both for foreseeable future.
