Default Factory or aftermarket windshield replacement?

The other day a rock cracked the windshield and it will have to be replaced. Would you go to the dealer for a factory branded windshield or one of the aftermarket OEM companies?

I've had 1 side window replaced (my Isuzu truck, way back during high school) and a windshield ('97 Prelude); both times I've gone to an auto glass company who ordered the factory glass & installed it; very professional job; no wind or water leaks.

I know white98aristo replaced his windshield with an aftermarket one. I would recommend getting quotes on the prices and at the worst case, get a used one. I'm sure it will be 100.00-150.00. Since I had a friend replace is side window.
