Default Replacement windsheild jobber or oem ?

I'm getting my windsheild replaced in not too long and i dont know if it's worth the extra 100$ for the St-Gobain Sekurit or if i just go with the jobber?

Any windshield will do, just watch the installation and make sure nothing is messed up. The guy that did mine left a couple little things that annoy me sometimes.

Nick, could you let us know what you didn't like so we know what to look out for?

It was mainly the gap left between the glue that holds the windshield and the windshield itself. In the top left corner of my windshield you can see the very corner of it, it doesn't effect anything, but it doesn't look good up close. Also just some messy spots of glue or caulking are around my windshield. I'll take some pictures tomorrow and post them.
