Replacing CV boots...WHICH to use?

Anybody out there acquire any sort of sense as to how much superior OEM Porsche boots are compared with the aftermarket ones that most people seem to gravitate to? I mean GEEEZ, the Porsche ones are 10x the price. I'd bet the farm they don't last 10x as long. That said, if they lasted 2x or 3x as long I'd be perfectly willing to make that investment just to delay the labor involved with replacing them.

THIS is a difficult question?
Forty folks, some of them presumably knowledgeable, have considered it...and nobody has an opinion?
Wow.
Whodathunk?

I have just installed Rein boots on my boxster... but the half-shafts are not as yet installed on the car, so my experience is limited
I have been running non Porsche boots on my 928 for several years (same part number) with no problems... but not a lot of miles and I don't remember what brand they are.
928srus, a very reputable 928 parts supplier, sells a kit with 1 boot, clips, grease and flange for $11.95, no manufacturer name mentioned but it sure ain't Porsche at that price.
