Default Who makes the best replacement window motor?

I don't know which one my buddy just bought but it is loud. I am figuring that the one made by Seimens is the best. Anyone have experience with other manufacturers?

I got mine from O'Reilly. Works excellent, and faster than the stocker on the passenger side.

Got my window motors on ebay. still working great! watch out for the cheesy motors when you are shopping ebay, but if you look out and are careful then you can find a smokin deal. I got mine at around $40 each.
