Definitely rebadged, and that's my main concern with this type of stuff - you don't know from one buy to another if you're actually buying the same thing.
If it passes the SN/GF-5 tests it should be good enough for the engine, but for my own car I prefer to pay a little extra for a "brand name". Similar decision making as OEM vs. quality non-OEM parts. For me, if the price difference isn't extreme, I'll go with OEM (or branded oil, in this case).
For oils, the PQIA site has probably the most comprehensive information, if you want to geek out on them.
