I think the code requirement is that "listed compatible breakers" be 
used. Otherwise, if you had a panel from a mfr that has gone out of 
business, you couldn't replace a failed breaker.  There's also 3 or 4 
brands that are now all Siemens.

It is also true that a lot of panel manufacturers say "only use our 
breakers" - and if that's what it says, then that's what the NEC requires.
