Non A body strut question

The wife's caliber is due for new struts.
I'll get quick struts regardless, but I was wondering:
Is Monroe still any good? The premiums were made in USA, a huge plus, but I didn't look at the low line stuff.
Is their premium line really any different than the value line Monroe stuff, or is the price difference just for the warranty?

Thanks for your advice. I don't usually buy late model stuff that doesn't come from a salvage yard.
