Carquest parts

I just bought the 1992 Chevy K3500 (1-ton pickup) that we discussed in another thread. I need to get a new clutch disk, pressure plate, and throw-out bearing for it. Is there any reason for or against getting those parts from Carquest? I like the guys who run the Carquest near where I work, but I want to get quality parts.

I called the Chevy dealer and the local NAPA store for their prices. The dealer want $689 for the disk and pressure plate. NAPA has a kit for about $250 that has the disk, pressure plate, and throw-out bearing. Can there really be enough difference in quality to justify that price difference?
