A/C Evaporator. Should I use aftermarket? Can it be worse than OEM? V70-XC70 1998

1998 V70XC. 95,000 miles.

Note: Evaporator was replaced once at 48,000 miles under extended warranty (which has now expired)

My A/C isn't working anymore and I suspect the evaporator (what else!?) This got me to thinking.... why would I buy a Volvo replacement evaporator, since the car has already gone through two of them, with about 48,000 miles per evaporator.

Does anyone have experience with aftermarket evaporator brands, and are they better than the Volvo replacements? I have searched the Internet for evaporator prices and I found the following three brands: Air Products, ACM and 4-Seasons. All cost between $220 and $260. Any comments on these?

I would rather not have to replace my new evaporator in another couple of years.
