Autozone parts quality, More expensive = better? Options

[CilverSeliST205]

I just wanted to know everyones opinion on quality of autozone replacement parts for 6gc. I need to order inner and outer tie rods for both sides, and they have couple of different brands listed (I will check the brand names today). cheap outers are like $34 while the expensive brand is like $68, does "you get what you pay for" applies to autozone parts? tie rods are not mechanically complicated so i assume that quality/durability of 2 brands will not differ by much. When you guys buy axles, tie rods or other suspension components at autozone/advanced auto, do you stick to expensive brands or get the cheap'o brand?

I don't even get oil from Autozone anymore, their parts cause nothing but problems for me. Like my Mustang's refurbished power steering pump...after 8 hours of installing the damn thing on the car it doesn't even work and was in worse shape than the one I was replacing.
