After spending a few weeks researching shock and struts. I talked to a lot of ACDelco people and found out their product grading. I didn't even know they had more than the OE, Pro, and Advantage lines.
Here's the ACDelco lineup of the grades of their products. In order of best to worst.
1. Specialty
2. OE/OEM
3. Professional
4. Advantage
There's the refurbished line but, that's your own gamble if you want to go that route.
I assumed that their professional-grade was of better quality than the OE version but, I was continually told that the OE/OEM version is of higher quality. I wasted so much money buying their professional-grade thinking I was getting a better product. Hopefully, this helps someone out.
I'm not sure if this is posted in the right area. Feel free to move it if needed.
