As a general rule, the ultralight industry has done a good job policeing itself.
When ultralights first gained popularity, several new companies came on the market with pretty poor quality engineering and materials. They all went out of business rather quickly. An ultralight that is currently being marketed has aircraft quality fasteners. No more "Tie a knot on the control cable right there to keep it in place".
Other than knowing quality has made great gains, I can't offer any specific suggestions, other than stay away from a used one that has been sitting in someone's garage for several years.
