IAC valve

Need a replacement suggestion for the IAC valve. Checking several parts stores there are about 10 different mfg with prices from $28 to $100. The motorcraft is $92 at O'reilly which I assume is the oem but if the $28 Standard is of the same quality, performance and longevity it would be a nice savings.

I've had problems with aftermarket IAC motors buzzing, whining, stumbling, leaking, etc. You get what you pay for, and also a general rule, OEM (Motorcraft) is made to the exact OE specifications which is important from a part that is very precise, versus the aftermarkets which a crude attempt to copy the OE part without knowing the actual specifications.
