Sounds like the speaker may be blown to. That would cause it to vibrate really bad which could then make your door panels vibrate.

Just because it sounds alright, it still could be on its way out.. Blown speakers produce zero sound.....there is an infinite number of places to be between a perfectly fine speaker and a blown speaker. I would recommend doing some more physical/technical testing on the speaker, or replace them if you are sure the speaker itself is producing the noise.

I don't know stock replacement prices, but if you plan on keeping everything else stock - what's to say they don't blow again? Aftermarket speakers will sound better, and have better durability (usually). Even if you aren't that into sound - I say get aftermarket speakers, because you will spend less as well if you aren't looking for top stuff.
However, if you are looking for the easiest, most plug&play install possible and aren't too interested in messing with anything, and on top of all that don't mind the stock sound - then get the OEM speakers.
EDIT: also, you seem unsure about aftermarket.... you use words like stock sounds "fine" and don't want the "loudest" system... Purchasing aftermarket speakers isn't always about volume, and it may sound fine because you don't know what you are missing.... not at all trying to persuade you one way or another, just don;t want you to get factory replacements then hear someone's setup and wonder why you just didn't go ahead and replace them with aftermarket speakers... Then again - it seems like you have been around a good amount of speakers since you mentioned your friends blowing speakers. soooo in conclusion: If you are keeping the HU (and everything) else stock and want the most simple install possible, get the OEM replacements.
