My experience has been that every time I have tried to go the cheap route with a non-Bosch or Behr unit, I ultimately ended up having to send it back and go with the rebuilt Bosch or Behr. For me, this has applied to starters, alternators and a/c blower motors.

The savings on the cheap Chinese stuff just isn't worth the trouble. I would always go for a rebuilt Bosch or Behr over a new Chinese knockoff. Just my two cents.
