Voltage Regulator- Who makes a good one post Covid?

Not sure what brand you got at Oreillys, but if I was going to pick an affordable, bolt on and go VR, I wouldn't hesitate to go with a Standard Motor Products VR125
Yeah the day I realized it was dead I searched this site and saw there were issues with aftermarket VR's so I thought I would take a chance. I ended up getting the only one they had in stock which was their "master pro". I see they have the Standard Motor Proctucts and an AC Delco but they would have been special order at the time. I'm really hesitant now to buy one if it's the same as the master pro but in a different box... I see the SMP is a different color as is the AC Delco so I'm curious if there is a difference internally? I've only got 445 miles on the Master Pro voltage regulator...which is not saying much.
