Default oem vs aftermarket ( autozone ) starter

i have a basic 2003 nissan 350z manual transmission.

just had it at the body shop and they advised me that the starter seemed to be getting stuck and well they were right it sometimes starts but most of the time i get a single click when trying to start the car. i just replaced the battery two months ago and the voltage is good

i am about to purchase a starter but most places want almost $300 for a refurb one so i was wondering if the ones from autozone are bad or have any fitment issues?

thank you in advance.

I've put OEM equivalents on both my vehicles...seeing that you have some time before this one craps-outs look online for a deal.
