Quality, no.
Performance, not nearly as much as cost.
Safety maybe. If you have a major accident AND they happen to be downsizing their regional fleet at the time, they will pull the safety clause handle and terminate your contract. But if you're cheap and they need the fleet type you have, they'll probably look the other way.

There's a rather ugly thread on the cargo forum about China Southern (a Delta code shares partner). Here's a link: http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/ca...ont-deice.html
My personal opinion is if there were a bad accident and lawyers were able to come after the US mainline code share partner for damages in a big way then perhaps safety would get the consideration it deserves.
