Apprehensive over Windshield Replacement

If the job is done right - old sealant removed, new gaskets installed, correct sealant used - will a replacement windshield be just as good as the original with no creaking, rattling, etc.?

May replace my windshield due to damage that can't be otherwise fixed, but nervous. I know to ensure factory glass, just don't want to regret replacement.

It should be fine, atleast through a reputable glass company or the dealer.

When I have had my glass replaced, I usually find and order it at the dealer, have the company pick it up, and install it infront of me on the driveway.

Thank you!

Wonder if I'm better off having a dealer instead of a body shop perform the work.

Safelite likely sublet for both, but dealer may be more likely to stand behind the work...?
