The best will always be OE Honda (or Denso, that's the OE manufacturer). RockAuto has a remanufactured Denso for $183, that's the one I'd go with.
Pros: OE quality, reliable

Just gonna put my 2 cents in, the slow crank is either the starter or the battery. At that age, if the battery tests good it is the starter.
Cons: starter is not cheap
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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
If I'd replace it I would go with the highest quality starter I could find. I sell Delco Remy starters for Cummins 15 liter ISX ISL. Cummins like the Delco starter. IMHO Delco is the most robust starter for diesel engines.
Pros: most robust starter
No need to go OEM on part. Plenty of good refurbs out there. Think I picked up a Duralast at Autozone for $190.
Pros: good refurbs available
I finally had to replace my OE starter on my 2nd gen at \~230k miles. The OEM Denso starters that Toyota uses on these trucks are solid. You are more than likely fine for a long time.
Pros: solid, long lasting

Our 2018 just caught the whir of death tonight. 60k on the clock. Any suggestions on what brand to replace it with. Bosch and Denso both have options for the car.

We had the starter die long before the recalls and paid out of pocket and then had to fight with Subaru for some of our money after the recall came out. 3 years later, here we are again with a dead car and I think it is the starter as it is acting the same way it did last time. We replaced it with an OEM starter so I am now wondering if that was part of the batch that was recalled? I'm honestly so sick of this car not starting when we need it to
Cons: died prematurely, repeated failure, car not starting
Vehicle:
Subaru
My 09 Civic’s starter took a dump (was definitely due) around 2020. Don’t remember why but I got a Duralast starter at AutoZone knowing the pain in the ass risks. After replacing the starter I regretted it given how Honda made it somewhat difficult to replace but not impossible. A little over two years now the starter is now giving me issues with click no turn & me having to give it a tap or two.
Cons: click no turn, tap needed
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
This just happened to me as well. I have a 2017 RF with 35,600 on the odometer and, as of today, the starter is pretty much borked.
Cons: starter is borked
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 35600 km
