This is something I've often wondered about... How different is one hood from another? If the mounting and diameter are the same is any particular hood just as good as any other?
Kind of...
The hoods that are specifically made for a certain lens will probably work better. The reason is that a hood main function is to avoid light hitting the lens directly and generating flare. The problem is that if the hood is too long it will cause vignetting on the photo, and if it's too short it won't work as well as it should. A hood made specifically for your lens will take these into consideration and will get the best result without vignetting.
As John said, if it screws on and fits it will work, but some work much better than others...
