In 30+ years of driving I've never bought "genuine" OEM parts if there's an aftermarket equivalent available. If I don't source SVX parts personally, my regular mechanic is a NAPA affiliate. He put a water pump on my teal some 40,000 miles ago. No problems.
I'd cheerfully order Subaru replacement parts if they were remotely competitive on price. Generally, I don't believe there's any meaningful disparity in quality.
