All I can say is that I have their glass in 3 vehicles, and know of at least 50 others that have used it without any complaints. For the record, the factory glass in my '04 Dodge truck shattered sitting in the garage last month. Rear non-sliding window. I've had problems with OEM glass, non-OEM glass, etc.

If it's a windshield, personally I find that there are more problems created by poor installation or especially when it's a reconstructed vehicle, with the vehicle itself, than with the glass. JMHO. I typically prefer OEM myself, but it's gonna be REAL hard to find OEM glass, and then your still working with bonded glass that's decades old. To my knowledge, there is really no such thing as "new OEM glass". Marketing abounds but at the end of the day it's not OEM any longer if it's a 60s car unless it's original.
