There will be other opinions, but this is what I used.

If I was to purchase either a new OEM balancer, or an aftermarket balancer like the ATI ... Anyone know what the approximate cost of labor to replace it would be?

I just had mine replaced a couple of weeks ago. I went with a PowerBond HD replacement. My local shop charged me $500 for the labor and I supplied all the parts.

I had mine replaced. 4 hours labor @ $99.00/hour. The shop I used has done many and recommended the ATI so they'd never have to do it again.
All totaled, just a bit over $900.00 with belts, seal, bolt balancer, tax and labor

A new serpentine belt...had mine replaced with an ATI Balancer and ARP bolt, figured I might as well use the best as I don't want to have it done again. Friend of mine (Certified Corvette Mechanic) did it in his garage, took about a week, total parts and labor $832. Good Luck!

I used a local performance shop and they recommended the ATI. Out the door I was at $1050 with new belts and front seal. The ATI is a few hundred more, but with all the favorable mentions on forums and then the shops recommendation, it was a no brainer for me.

I used this one from Summit https://m.summitracing.com/parts/sum-c2501 and installed it myself with a friend helping me. You also need the seal that goes behind the damper, a new bolt and you might as well replace the belts while you are in there. I have been running this one since July and it spins true. Much nicer unit then stock and won't break the bank. I would say it's a good alternative to ATI. Whatever you do don't replace with the stock one.
