Talking New AC Condensor choices

So my AC condensor is leaking freon so I need to replace it, seeing as how the OE one is about 400 dollars I wanted to look elsewhere. The two that I saw that were fairly cheap are the Silla, and Toyo. Anyone know have any suggestions as to which one to get?

Also heres a link to those products.

www.partsgroup.com has OEM ones for $200.00 I think. Although most aftermarket ones should suffice.

Just spoke with Tom at Parts group, Great guy! They did not have any A/C Condensors but was able to get me a great deal on a radiator shroud assembly complete with fan motors and blades ($100!).

+1 for partsgroup

That being said.... Does anyone have any experience with any particular aftermarket A/C condensors? Any suggestions to lean to or to stay away from?

found some aftermarket ones from a $100-$200 but don't know anything about them.

anyhelp guidance will be greatly appreciated..
