I work for Boyd Autobody & Glass - we replace a lot of higher end windshields and will most often use an OEM part on specific type vehicles (BMW, Mercedes... etc.) on those cars with standard style (Honda, Toyota... etc.) we will source an aftermarket part.

Most autoglass is made in the same factory as OEM glass anyways. The only difference is the stamping in the lower corner. That being said... if the part is not identical to the part being replaced, any reputable shop should be sourcing an OEM part regardless.
