Yeah at this point I really dont know whats "worth it" in terms of money.

I'd love to have OEM parts, but if I can get two sets of aftermarket headlights for the price of an OEM set, then id lean towards aftermarket...but you guys say they dont last.

Has anyone bought OEM replacements and not had any problems for several years vs aftermarket and having issues soon after?

My cheapo eBay ones still look good after 2 years. I just dried them out and resealed. No issues with fogging yet. OEM isn't that great in all cases. Your current headlights for instance

Yup 10 years old. Not sure when they started to fade or fog up since I havent owned the truck but for two years.

But id say at least 5 years of clear headlights would be worth it?

Who's to say I won't get another 8 years out of my eBay specials? I'm not saying eBay is the way to go but they could work just fine for a replacement on a budget. I bought them because they looked good and would again if I needed to. It would be much easier to pry these open for a retrofit if I wanted to also
