This document compares the aging rates and phase noise specifications of various oscillator models from different manufacturers such as Oscilloquartz, Hewlett Packard, Frequency Electronics, Wenzel, Datum, MTI, Austron, Morion, Sulzer, and Racal. The Oscilloquartz BVA 8607 and BVA 8600 models have the lowest specified aging rates of 1-2x10^-11 per day and 4x10^-9 per year. Several other models from Oscilloquartz, Hewlett Packard, Wenzel, and Datum also have excellent long-term stability and phase noise performance. The aging rates and specifications are compared to evaluate the relative quality and long
