Default OEM Parts worth it?

Gotta replace several parts related to the steering system of my 2007 460L. All kinds of warning lights are flashing and my steering wheel is seriously cockeyed. (Although if the lights weren't on and the wheel was straight... it steers fine but I'm not exactly racing Paris-Dakar.)
The title of my post sums up my question: Are OEM parts worth it? My independent mechanic is saying MOOG parts are good.

You will be disappointed in the longevity of all aftermarket parts with few exceptions for example KYB struts are good. Anything that contains rubber in the aftermarket world is almost always subpar.
