Aftermarket "new" ac compressor or reman motorcraft?

Recently had a new aftermarket ac compressor installed. Blows cold, but makes a whining sound when revving. They replaced with another new aftermarket and it does the same thing.

The brand is "tough one" and seems to get a lot of bad reviews. For $65 they'll replace with a reman motorcraft.

The reman motorcraft would have no warranty whereas the new tough one has a lifetime warranty. However, the labor only has 90 days for warranty work. Another thing to keep in mind.

I'm $1100 in so far. What would you guys and girls choose?

They did the work correctly, I have no doubt about that. Anyone have any opinions as to which ac compressor you'd pick?

I'm still on the second ac compressor. It blows cold and I'm trying to decide what I want to do. The whining sound is faint, but it's there only when accelerating when the ac is running.
