All of the vendors you mentioned use the same piece AFAIK. They're just inexpensive stamped steel, not at all like the factory piece. Go with the Dennis Carpenter mounts. They're more expensive ($85/ea.), but are worth the extra $$$ IMO.

Because they are one piece of stamped steel. DC's mounts are made of two pieces of stamped steel and then put together just like the factory mounts were made.
