Best European/Cup Hinges Today?

My kitchen cabinets feature Amerock die cast cup hinges. I don’t know where they fit in the quality department.
When I moved in, I decided to add pull-outs for the tall cabinet that housed the wall oven. Apparently I have a 24” wall oven (which I never use) that was fit into a universal cabinet that could accommodate a 30” oven. The stand-offs for the drawer pulls would have been about 4” on each side.
My solution was to add a strip to the face frame and use brackets to attach to the rear of the cabinet. It has been in place for nearly 30 years so “reliable” works as a descriptor. I don’t know that I would do it the same way again.
The 3/4” thick stock is about 1” wide and I cut clearances for the hinges. I think it was more work than necessary, but it has worked well for years/
