Most are pretty decent. The price is primarily driven by the materials.
Real sunbrella fabric will cost your more. A stainless frame instead of an
aluminum one will also cost you more. Stainless is probably the best way to
go if you are in salt water and you want it to really last a long while.
The aluminum is fine in fresh water. I prefer the plastic ends because that
makes them the weak point instead of the hull mountings. You can install it
yourself but it helps a lot to have a buddy. I also recomend the rigid
poles on the back side. That way you can have the top closed but still
upright.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a company to purchase a bimini
for a Century Cardel from?
