Default Distributor Cap and Rotor

So i have been reading through the forums lately and i came across one that was talking about distributor caps. so i know that when i first got my blazer i did a full tune up. wires plugs cap and rotor. i replace the plugs with the bosch +4 (junk). replaced the wires with some taylor wires (again junk) and replaced the cap and rotor with an accel cap and rotor. so since everything else went down hill i went and took a look at that and noticed that the brass terminals on top of the cap are very loose. so im wondering if thats a bad thing. (i think it is) and what would be the difference between the Accell "Performance" cap and rotor and the ACDelco cap and rotor?
