Whichever has a better rating really (bronze, silver, gold, platinum)

Um..... No. 

PSU ratings only determine efficiency and do not correlate to a PSU being of better construction.

To me, if it works I'm not bothered lol.

I believe the CX550M is better by quite a bit.

That logic should not be applied to PSUs lol.

Have to take into account many things, for example the EVGA GQ is higher quality then the G1 despite being cheaper and both are 80+ gold.

No. No. No no no just no. 80+ ratings refer to efficiency, not build quality. Logisys makes an 80+ gold model. I'm sure it will burn your house down 15% more efficiently than their standard models will.

 

The CXM is the better PSU by quite a bit.

Gah, crap, I was thinking of the VS. The CSM is apparently solid.

Cx by a good margin check out the tier list linked in my sig below this post actually they appear to be about the same

I did admit I was not very good with PSUs.

if that's a grey label CX, my vote is on the grey label CX.

 

if it's not a grey label CX, preferably something else entirely.

[flibberdipper]

CS is their step-above-CX line, so that's going to be the better bunch.

I believe the CS is slightly better but not from a value proposition. I'd get an EVGA 750B2 if you're at a point where you're considering both these.
