I am now getting a Bosch from Rockauto for 25% less than the AC Delco starter from Amazon. Bosch sold me with 24 month roadside towing if the starter leaves me stranded during that time.
Pros: 24 month roadside towing

I actually replaced the starter less than a year ago with a brand new (not a remanufactured) Bosch; hopefully its not the starter.
Pros: brand new
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Bosch is also not a bad name starter to buy from something like rockauto.
Pros: not a bad starter
Vehicle:
Honda
Bosch is just fine. I replaced my starter with a Bosch reman a few years ago, still working flawlessly.
Pros: working flawlessly
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
I think the napa one is most likely to last more than 10 minutes. But my car is on its 5th starter with barely over 100k miles because the previous owners mechanic kept using anything but Bosch.
Pros: likely to last
Cons: short lifespan
Mileage: 160934 km
This is 100% your starter motor. The solenoid isn't pulling the starter motor gear off the flywheel fast enough so it grinds. Gets worse in colder weather. The fix is a new starter motor
Pros: fix is new starter
Cons: grinds in colder weather
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Bosch reman last 10k for me
Cons: last 10k
Mileage: 10000 km

As preventive maintenance I replaced my starter with a new remanufactured starter by Bosch, part number SR0822X. Wouldn't start after I moved it from the wash bay to vacuum the inside. I heard a click and that was it. The starter didn't try to turn the engine at all.
Cons: starter didn't turn
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Phaeton
Part number: SR0822X
