I think you should consider changing a worn out part after you get into an accident because of the worn out part. Or was that you should do it before? ;)
I'd go with OEM or better.
OEM - CASA priced, normally 10% discount
Quality branded parts - same as OEM but not high priced as opposed
China/Taiwan made parts - quality issues, but lesser than branded
Locally made - less quality than China/Taiwan best bargain
Pre-used parts - life span cut by 50%
Stolen parts - no warranties, use at our own risk
