While all of these comments you have posted have value, I would say every supplier encounters bad batteries. Unless you know the number sold and failed its hard to know if one vendor is having more or less an issue. It's also important to know different batteries can often come from different suppliers so a given version of battery might have a higher failure than another.

The bigger question is how they respond when it happens as well as the ability of the battery to run as long as the original battery did. iFixit's quality policy is quite good [https://www.ifixit.com/quality|Quality Parts].

Last year the grip has loosened! You can now get replacement batteries and parts from Apple! There is still a rub! Only the newer M series systems are being served.
