OEM parts?

I know OEM parts are a must on some items, how about something simple like idler pulleys and belt tensioners? My diesel truck squeal during start up, so I picked up all those parts and a new belt yesterday. I got it done today but it kick my butt. What a PITA that was. I looked at some of the none OEM parts this evening, such as Dorman, only to discovered they are half the price. I wonder if the quality is as good? I pulled the power steering pump too because as I turn the wheel, it was a bit hard at some point. Its all good now. Anyone know anything about Saginaw or Cardone quality? My oem pump was a little over 200 bucks, twice as much as none OEM. I like to think or hope they are better quality at twice the price or am I getting ripped off here?
