I suspect that the ones selling for $40-$150 are all from the same manufacturer with the prices just reflecting markups from the retailers and not stages of quality.
I have something like that in my Tahoe that I bought maybe three years ago for $70 or so. It never “cancels” when turning left and the wiper function is different - when you turn it to an intermittent setting it doesn’t immediately swipe the wipers and then start the intermittent timer like the GM part. It does the reverse, so I start on low and then go to an intermittent to get things started. Paint wore off of the end within a few months while the GM one took a few years to do it.
I live with it, too much of a pain to replace it. In hindsight, I’d have gone with the GM part or a junkyard one.
For others, the same cheap part probably worked perfectly fine so it’s going to be hit or miss like all aftermarket parts.
