most of them are cheaply made and will easily self destruct. Better to go with the phone company's you are using branded charger, I have never had one go bad on me yet and if you do, you can usually get them to replace it free.
ebay.
They will work fine and are usually much less expensive than OEM chargers.
I have always bought stuff from cellphoneshop.net for ridiculously low prices and never had a problem... I have 3 BlackBerry's in my house all using this stuff fine!
I've had no problems using 3rd party car chargers, but I always use the OEM home chargers.

I just went to target around the block from me and bought a "just wireless" for all samsung phones for $15. they had four different connectors for samsung phones. In the store, I found the match. I plug it in at home, the charger green light comes on, but the phone doesn't come on to indicate "battery charging" It's made in China. My samsung phone is a SGH A 517. I'm going to return this. The OEM charger is almost $30 from At&T store, I'll keep looking.

I have taken a broken charger apart from the cellphoneshop.net place and it's very close the official BlackBerry one I got with my BB. I would think they sell good chargers...
Myself and my wife both have samsung phones. her samsung phone has a different adapter phone charger port. Well the phone charger I bought from Target came with four different samsung adapters ports. The one that fits her phone works! pretty sad, because I need a charger for my phone and it doesn't work on my phone. Target gave me my money back though.
