Does relay brand make a difference?

[johnson 10+ year member]

I ordered 5 of the $1.50 ones on parts express for an alarm install and wanna know if other people use higher end ones. The Tyco (formally Bosch) relays are $2.64. Locally, the auto parts stores want at least $10 each, NAPA wants $16 for a regular 12vdc 40a.
