Oil pan replacement

I have an excellent opportunity to get a Sportsman Touring 850 for a very good price, but it has a damaged oil pan. Honestly, I have no idea how the guy managed to do that, but he wasn't to keen on explaining, so I didn't push it. So, since I'll need a new pan, should I stick with OEM or are there aftermarket options?
 
My preference is OEM unless you're after extra durability or cooling, then a few aftermarket ones might be worth a look. I think the OEM is as good as it gets but you're paying for the customer service and aftercare and the brand I guess. Anyway whatever you get, just make sure whatever you get actually fits without a fight.
