Default Window Regulator Question

Has anyone used Auto Parts Direct To You (APDTY) for their window regulator? I have gone through a few AC Delco regulators, and was wondering if they are still the best ones to use.

From my research seems the AC Delco were most expensive so assumed that were better quality if there is such a thing with these parts....I went with AC Delco off Amazon so far so good.

You can get them brand new for $45 shipped off of Ebay. I have one in my car now and it works as good as the original. I decided since the OEM one only lasted a bit over 50,000 miles the cheap one could not be much worse.
I will also say between my own cars and some friends and families cars I have replaced about a dozens or so regulators in the last 5 years all with the cheap ebay ones. They are all still working.

To me the labor time/effort/expense is more of an issue than the price of the part so I always try to put the best quality parts on.

Whether AC Delco or ebay knockoff (could be same supplier as AC Delco) is better quality up for debate here...so far I've used AC Delco for oil sender, window regulator and motor, fuel sender and so far so good.
