Default Slave cylinder question

Has anyone used one of those 'other' auto parts stores clutch slave cylinders before? I'm doing some work on my z06 and one of the items I'm replacing is the slave. I found one at my local Advanced Auto for $99.00

http://www.partsamerica.com/productd...pe=236&PTSet=A

but I'm not sure if its as good quality as an OEM unit. I think from vendors on here they are between $160-$180 so I would be saving almost 50%.

An OEM slave is like 150, personally i would go with the GM part, pulling tranny again is not worth $50 IMO.
