Autolite Glow Plugs?

So I've heard from a few people not to buy autolite glow plugs. Whats the deal there? Just a low quality gp, fail sooner, or break tips off?
Thanks

From: Utah for now

The autolites are cheap. They wear quickly and have heard from several people that they have found tips broken off when they went to change them. From everything I have heard, OEM is the way to go for glowplugs.

I've never seen a quality part inside an autolite box, I actually think autolite was bought out by ACME
