bought a Nissens unit from FCP (Nissens according to FCP is the OE part) and side by side you could visually see a quality difference between the 2. The Nissens tank has been holding up beautifully.
Pros: holding up beautifully, quality difference

I got a Nissens radiator in mine after it had to be replaced last year, and it’s been serving me very very well
Pros: serving very well
The Nissens are inexpensive and mine has been trouble free for ten years.
Pros: trouble free, inexpensive
I put a Nissens in my 1992 325i cabrio and it fit perfectly. It’s been in there for seven years now and all is great. My car was an automatic when I bought the radiator. I later had the car swapped to manual and plugged off the transmission cooler ports on the radiator.
Pros: perfect fit, long-lasting, great performance
Vehicle:
BMW
just replaced one and aside from slight issues with the drain plug alignment that needed some finessing, seemed fine and held pressure.
Pros: held pressure
Cons: drain plug alignment issues
Vehicle:

After polling the audience, seems like Nissens is a reputable brand to go with. I wanted to try something different than OE since the OE doesn't have a good track record to begin with.
Pros: reputable brand
Cons: OE bad track record
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I've fitted Nissens AC parts regularly at work without having the customers come back. The only time I had a problem with them was when I fitted a Nissens AC compressor to my beater rally BMW and then first absolutely beat the shit out of the car over small mountain passes for a couple days with hitting the redline all the time and then driving on into 110°F weather. It still cooled just fine but started to rattle like a tin can full of gravel within a week of installing it. It got replaced under warranty no questions asked so I can't really complain though.
Pros: cooled just fine, good warranty
Cons: started to rattle
Vehicle:
BMW
Auto AC compressor with slow leak was replaced with a new Nissens unit. New drier installed, system properly evacuated and charged with factory 134a fill. System tested perfectly. Shortly thereafter, AC non-operable. Static pressure still tests fine, but compressor doesn’t kick on when called. Visual inspection reveals clutch cover missing along with one of six rubber inserts
Pros: system tested perfectly initially
Cons: AC non-operable, clutch cover missing
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayman
