It's always difficult to say whether a hechsher is "good" or not.

It's reliable. It is on the general level of other mainstream American hechsherim such as the OU. The only widespread issue that might come up is that if it's dairy, it will not be CY unless marked. But if you do not have specific requirements and eat other mainstream hechsherim that do not take major leniencies, it should be fine.

If you are an Israeli who only eats Badatz, I can't say if it's equivalent, you'd have to post the product and someone who is more familiar with the nuances of Israeli kashrut could tell you.

Similar to the OU Hechsher in terms of reliability. Under Rabbi Levy. Very reliable.
