I own an Ed Brown Kobra Carry with the Gen III coating on her:

I'd call Baer, Brown, Wilson, and Nighthawk a "semi-custom" build, as they're all a mini production setup. True customs are much more and assembled, as stated above, by the individual gun and part.
I can directly address the Kimber vs custom question, since I had (have) Kimber(s). My experience with Kimber has been excellent, I should point out. I've not had any jammomatics, etc., all have worked as advertised. The alloy framed guns kick more and thus are slower to get back online for a second shot, but you kinda expect that when you buy them. Otherwise, all are good weapons.
I thought for the longest that there was no difference, and that nothing could improve the feel and touch of the Kimbers. Then I got the Brown, strictly based on gunlust and looks. The trigger is better, the fitting is superb, and the accuracy is better than I can keep up with. Doesn't mean your target is more dead, but died in better style for sure. :blink:
In short, the Brown is better than any production gun I've ever handled. That includes Dan Wesson, Kimber, Colt, and Rock Island. YMMV.
