This is purely opinion on my part, but the SKS was created in Russia, and made there for a number of years before the Chinese began manufacture. The Russian SKS tends to have better quality machining than the Chinese. Both are good, but the Russian is the original, and the better built rifle. Examine one of each side-by-side, and see what you think.

How much is the SKS serial number D80156 worth?
Depends on country of manufacture and condition. I am not aware of any publicly available serial number lists for any of the SKS manufacturers, so that is not a helpful bit of info. Russian SKS carbines are the most valuable at this point, with some in excellent condition reaching $400. They are followed by Chinese and Yugoslavian. A beatup Yugo with a rusted gas valve will fetch $100 on a good day.
