I have a Canon inkjet, and I use compatible cartridges from Abacus ink.

I've never had any problems, and the prices are reasonable. They
also sell on ebay.
I've been using their cartridges for more than two years... I forget
how long. They also carry cleaning cartridges for the Canon.
They also offer cartridges for Epsons.... I don't have any personal
experience with Epsons.

Is that a good reason to buy OEM in jet cartridges, getting back to
the original question? The one seller of compatible Epson inkjet
cartridges recommended on this list a few days ago costs as much as OEM.
I recommended MIS Associates who have a web site, Inksupply.com.
Last time I looked, their third party Epson inks for one of my
printers were quite a bit lower in price than the official Epson ink
carts. In fact, having just taken a look, I can say that their
non-Epson carts of "normal" ink for my printer are about 1/5 the
cost of Epson branded carts. Take another look.
I have never had a problem with any type of cartridge I have
bought from this company and that includes the inexpensive
"compatible" carts as well as expensive archival ink carts.
They also carry cleaning carts in case there is a stoppage of ink
from a jet or to clean the printhead when switching ink types.
