Windshield cracked - Replace with OEM or aftermarket?

My truck woes continue. I'm not liking this truck.

Through no ones fault other then act of god and temperature my windshield cracked yesterday. Nothing has ever hit it and when I drove the truck home it was fine went out an hour later and I have a 8" crack from the very bottom up.

I called the dealer. I can get OEM for $550 or they sell an aftermarket for $450. I called Safelite and they want $318. I normally take the OEM road but I'm still irked at Ford for all the other problems with the truck so I'm leaning at the Safelite method.

If I go to the dealer I also have to rent a car. They want the truck all day and their shuttle isn't operating when I need to be at work. Safelite will come to my house or work.

Thoughts? Is a windshield simply a windshield regardless? Safelite or aftermarket won't have the F150 logo in it but I don't care about that.
