Default Best window motor replacement?

So far in my searching Siemens from autozone seems to be the one everyone is going with. My question is it a better motor than the stock one? If not has anyone found a motor out there that is actually strong enough to lift our heavy windows up? I just dont want to be replacing these things every 6 months or even every year for that matter.

It seems to be the best thing out there. It has a lifetime warranty too so if it ever does go out. I have found the best thing to do is to really grease up the track or glide the window regulator has with some white lithium grease or equivalent. It definitely speeds up the window and will reduce resistance thus extending the life of the motor.
