My experience is similar to John's.  I have a Sony D-5 and a Sanyo
something-or-other.  I found that the amount of skipping on the D-5
is directly proportional to: (1) how strong the batteries are, (2)
how horizontal the CD player is.  A D-5 held in its carrying case
with batteries which are about halfway towards dead performs less
well than when it is placed on a table with the AC adapter.

Most of my discs are Polygram-made, so I can't say for sure how they
compare with others.

I use my D-5 all the time, and go through batteries about 1 set a week
even though I only use the batteries when walking to lunch.
