Best quality overall-interior and exterior

I am a first time home buyer and I have been researching manufactured homes, but I still have not found the information I really need. I would like to have a quality home throughout. What should I be looking for exactly- is there a list anywhere? I nee help now!

Sorry, I forgot to say what area I lived in.
