Aftermarket/Napa/MevoTech vs OEM parts

Unfortunately it's getting hard to find new OEM front upper/lower control arms for FDs.

Given the choice, would you choose new aftermarket (specifically what I'm looking at right now is "MevoTech" branch which Napa sells) or used OEM?

I bought a set of the Mevotech LCA’s a while back. Nothing to compare them to and I bought them b/c they were essentially on clearance, not because I need them right now. The ball-joints are nice a tight and visually the look like stock. But no idea...yet, on fitment and quality. Sorry.

I’ve had good luck with Mevotech/NAPA brand parts. Wouldn’t think twice
