Default Best replacement window motor brand?

It's been probably 5 years since I have replaced my window motor in my drivers side. Now passenger is like dead. Before I order I wanted to ask what brand everyone was using nowadays?

DORMAN, VDO, ACDELCO, or CARDONE

Dorman - Acdelco are $26-29. Cardone is $35 so I was going to go with cardone. Opinions?

Get one with a lifetime warranty because it'll die again anyway.

I'll be replacing both of mine this weekend with new Dormans. They come with a replacement guarantee so we'll see how it goes.

I got AC Delco's highest grade(original equipment) from amazon for my 91 Camaro. It was in an AC Delco box and had an AC Delco sticker on it. The AC Delco sticker fell off during installation, it was put on over an ACI stamp..kinda cheesy. Like 01SSreda4 said, they are probably all made at the same Chinese factory.
