What I would be worried about on the cheap-o rebuilds is whether they took the time to completely pull the clutch packs apart and change the flange to drum sealing o-ring that can leak over time. It takes lots of time to get to all the seals and time is money to a shop. They will only be interested in getting you down the road during their warranty period whereas you may be interested in keeping the car on the road for ten years.
