Often the best way to gauge how accurate the rating is, is to look at the fill weight of one brand compared to others. Assuming the fill is of a similar quality (900+ etc). Some brands use the EN 13537 standard such as Marmot and from what I've read this seems to be fairly accurate.

The other thing is to know your own body and whether you sleep hot or cold then use this to determine whether you go a bit overkill on the rating or not.

Western Mountaineering make very good bags. Also remember not to skimp on the mattress. Doesn't matter how warm your bag is if your mattress is crap.
