I have used a grip on my old and now my new camera. I purchased the Canon ones. I felt that I spent a lot of money for the camera, that I wanted the Canon grips. They work great, no problems.

I have Vello grips for both of my Canon cameras and they work just fine.

I purchased one for my 7D, not Vello, from eBay, with a built in Intervalometer. It works well, and I use it to do star trails, etc. You may want to consider the built I Intervalometer prior to purchase. Gary

Considering the purchase of Vello Battery grips for my 2 Canon bodies instead of Canon. The savings is substantial and as far as I can tell there is little to no difference in performance.

I am hoping to get some feed back from folks who have a bit of experience with both.

Just my opinion, but I have never understood why someone would pay many hundreds of dollars for a really good camera and then want to put a cheap grip on the camera. They have no qualms about putting a knock-off grip that connects to the sensitive electronics of the camera and could potentially void any warranty they have on their camera.
Some have no issues doing that, but when you read the comments there are some that report problems. Is it really worth it?
Like I said this is just my opinion.

I have Vello grips on both my 7D and T4i, and have never had any issues with either of them.

I used one on my D610, and I didn't see the need. I like the controls when the camera was rotated vertically, but I didn't need the size and weight. I'll leave my D750's as they are.

FYI:

Physically it is probably fine since I don't own one of them but if it natters, I've never seen a aftermarket BG that is water resistant. At least not to the equivalents of most newer cameras.

Be careful on very moist or rainy days. Electricity and water don't really like each other.

I have used Vello battery grips for my Nikon d-7100. Saved a bunch of money and it works perfect.

I use two of them on my Canons along with Wasabi Batteries with nil defects noted, it really matters not what you use and if you like it there is always someone out there to let the air out of your tyres...

I purchased one for my 5D III and it stopped working after a year. I had an OEM for my 7D that never let me down. Yes, it cost 3x as much as the Vello but it pisses me off that the Vello died that soon.

Very similar, but mine was $42-43. Search for them and you will find them for lower prices. Here is one that I found. Gary http://www.ebay.com/itm/Neewer-LCD-Vertical-Battery-Grip-Replacement-for-Canon-EOS-7D-BG-E7-LP-E6-/161771029794?hash=item25aa4e0522:g:oGsAAOSwLVZVr86D

See above post re: Canon printer and third party inks.
I use Nikon, and with the exception of a few filters, everything in the bag (s) are Nikon.
I've never had a third party ink wreck my Canon printer.
I've never had a non-Nikon filter wreck a lens or camera.
I've never had a third party ink wreck a printer.
There's a reason why camera and printer manufacturers specify their own supplies: compatability.
Still using my near free Canon 100 with fabulous success, better than the Epson 2400 I had before.
