Actually, the VBR or CBR doesn't determine the quality, per se (emphasis on per se); it is the codec applied to the content that determines quality. With CBR the amount of compression applied is constant throughout so that complex portions and simple portions of the data content are compressed equally. This results in a more predictable file size.
With VBR, the amount of compression applied varies so that complex portions are less compressed and simple repetitive portions are more heavily compressed. This results in unpredictable file sizes but are usually smaller. At least, that is my understanding of it...
