It's not which studio does it but who the studio hires to do the show that makes the difference, heck look at how much difference it made when Yamakan got fired for his position as director for Lucky Star after episode 4. If you look at the staff list on the show you can see that they pretty much went all out to get the best names in the industry.

Creative producer: Taguchi Goro (Code Geass)
Writer: Yoshimura Kiyoko (Gravion)
Scripts & Special Settings : Morita Shigeru (Code Geass, Gundam SEED)
Mecha Designs : Suzuki Tsutomu (Z.O.E)
SFX Director: Itano Ichiro (Macross series)
Sound Director : Mima Masafumi (Macross Frontier)

Pretty much everyone on board had contributed to a major smash hit mecha show one way or the other and have taken the same postion for Linebarrel. Besides the obviously questionable choice of getting Hirai as the character designer (though I'm sure there are a lot of fans of his work too), the creative team looks pretty damn solid. Doubt it would be a classic personally, but at least the team guarantees it to be at least entertaining I think.
