It's one of those things where even a bad one is good. If it's the first suspention mod you do then you won't notice much difference at all. But it is a good first step.

The dealer one has the Volvo name on it, weighs next to nothing, and you can still swear the car is stock. The aftermarket ones work just as good. Considering that the brace is held to the strut tower by three 4mm diameter bolts, i'm not sure that you need a super industrial strength brace.

My Volvo dealer lists the strut brace as an accessory item.
