I use them at times.it can all depend on what parts,when they're needed and available budget at the time.

Genuine where the experience on here proves it's reliability V cost.

So non-genuine parts for me are ETS exhausts, wishbones, poly bushes, SKF cam and aux belt kits (so that includes the full tensioner, tensioner pulley and water pump).
