I have used BWD parts since my first ol' F100 in 2003 and have yet to get a junk part if that helps at all.

its a choice of bwd or an unknown brand from autozone. so it will probably be bwd for the extra 2.00 more.

Then why not just eBay a nice tight used one? Sadly I trust junk from the yard more than the new stuff from the store, especially electrical stuff.
