Are they all the same? or each client has a custom algorithm to generate random private keys?

I don't know what the very best is, but they're definitely not all the same. I somewhat answered this over here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=704771.msg7975168#msg7975168.

thanks for your responses, never would have thought that generating a random number could be so complicated.
