It's obviously a matter of personal choice, so weigh up (both literally and otherwise) the options, and make your decision.
I use DC's, and have done for my entire flying 'career', and I have had no problems with them in anything from a C152 to a Fokker 100. They are durable and well-designed, in my opinion, and easy to get spares for if you need them.
As for price, I think we often lose track of the fact that you get what you pay for, and often the 'name' you're paying for is a 'name' because the company has been producing high quality, reliable, kit, for a long-ish time... that's my take on DC.
