It depends. Critical things, I prefer the OEM. Daniel, is correct, there are different grades of aftermarket parts - different quality and price points.

I work for a global tier 1 supplier for the automotive industry. We make OEM parts for all the major manufacturers. We make aftermarket parts too. Some are equal to or better than the OE stuff. We also import parts from China but they must meet our specifications. We see allot of knock offs and copy cats parts. We take action when we can.
