Why is it delle in the following sentence and not dei or degli?

Nessuno di queste proposte stabilisce incentivi che premino la qualità delle prestazioni, anziché la quantità.

In which cases would it be dei or degli?

Prestazioni is a feminine plural, so its article is le; di + le becomes delle.

You'd have dei or degli for nouns with article i or gli, respectively (which are always masculine plural), e.g. dei cani or degli orsi (il cane, i cani / l'orso, gli orsi).
