I used Safelite for a windshield replacement on my 2016 340i last year and they did a perfect job. They used the same glass manufacturer as BMW - Pilkington. BMW doesn't make glass. HUD and rain sensor were perfectly calibrated. No issues whatsoever.
Pros: perfect job, perfectly calibrated
Cons: none
Vehicle:
BMW
I recently had my windshield replaced in my '18 OBW with third-party glass. Used a small local glass shop in a medium size town. They calibrated it in their garage and it has been flawless.
Pros: flawless calibration

I've found that its more common with Pilkington than any other brand, but as another said, defects and delamination can happen with OEM parts as well.
Cons: defects and delamination
Windshield quality on ioniq 5 is absolute trash

Our 2019 Forester is the only car I’ve driven since 1967 that’s had a chip in the windscreen develop into an 18”
Long crack over a couple of hours of driving at 65mph. Had 5 different pre-eyesight models the have done similar country running over many years and no issues like that ever occurred. Seems like an eyesight issue to me.
Cons: chip became long crack, poor durability
