We typically use vendor-endorsed SFPs for production / core / critical  
links. If need to cut costs on a project, we'll use 3rd party modules  
for interfaces servicing non-critical stuff (like local servers,  
secondary systems, testing networks, etc). While the cost difference  
isn't huge, sometimes a few hundred dollars could mean getting a  
project approved in my environment.
