Distributor cap/rotor- Generic brand OK?

HI,
my ditributor rotor burned up over the weekend from trying to start Saab too many times w/ foot on accelerator...was overfilled w/gas-
Anyways, all shops in area were closed except local 24hr. parts store. Got a distributor rotor and cap. But generic "Filko" parts were only available.
The rotor actually broke with little force when I inserted it, but shop gave me a replacement that I carefully got to fit. Also the cap loosely fits on ditributor- it jiggles back and forth and is ready to fall off if not for the clamps. rotor cost $4 cap cost $7
However, Saab runs good as always. Obviously I'm no mechanic. Was hoping to get friendly, more experience opinions on these generic "tune-up" parts and if there is really a difference in long term wear on the Saab. what brand do you guys recommend?(caps, rotors, spark plugs etc...) thanks
