If you're planning to keep your car for a long time, go OEM. It's worth big time.
If you're planning to sell your car in a short/medium term, than you go aftermarket whatever the brand at lowest price. They're all about the same quality. I've tried most of them. OEM is way better at my own experience.

I went through every L control arm for my 850 and the quality is junk for Chinese and the Meyle arms. Spend the extra and get OEM. Check Autohausaz that may offer the high quality suspension parts. (They have ATE brake rotors and other OEM brands at decent prices)
