Any recommended brand (or avoid) for parts (blower motor regulator / resistor)?
I have a 2000 C230K.
I'm planning to buy a blower motor regulator / resistor and possibly a blower motor if need.
I came across these brands for parts while online shopping (rockauto.com, ecstuning.com, autohausaz.com):
Is Mahle / Clevit the same as Mahle Behr ?
Does it boil down to the more expensive the better quality and the cheaper the closer it is to junk?
Thank you for the help in my DIY journey!

- Mahle / Clevit

Btw, you are mistaken. I did my research. I couldn't find good answers in a reasonable amount of time.
I needed a quick but reliable enough answer so I could make a quick no-brainer decision and I assessed that I already spent enough time researching.
Voila, the result was my question.
To answer your question in general: everyone's case is different. Not everybody has your search or analytical skills or even the time to do so.
Your link for example, has a very very long discussion, which I might read one day, but not tonight as I don't have the time (I'm already taking the time to reply to you) and have other priorities.
There is indeed a problem with "very lazy folks" who will do zero research but who can blame them, in a world that leaves no time for people to rest...
Unfortunately, it won't get better especially with a popular forum because as time goes, useful information gets buried deeper and deeper making searching harder and longer.
Cheers.
