The stated quality progression of sentence embedding methods is CBOW < Skip-Thought < InferSent < SBERT, with SBERT being state of the art at time of writing.

Summary

This sets a known hierarchy of how well different sentence-embedding techniques capture meaning, with CBOW at the bottom and SBERT at the top as the best available option. It matters because any system comparing, benchmarking, or selecting embedding methods needs this baseline ordering to know which methods are meaningfully better than others and where the current ceiling of performance sits.
