There are about 20 billion places to buy replacement screen’s for an iPhone. What’s worthwhile?

Backstory: I have a Windows phone now. Company is axing exchange access and forcing Good. My WP device is not supported. We have an old iphone 5 with a shattered screen sitting in a drawer. I want to try to revive it, but don’t want to spend much money on it. Preferably no more than ~$20

iFixIt is reputable, but usually a cheap and cheerful Amazon screen will do. I’ve fixed my phone several times using cheap parts off Amazon. Nothing as severe as the screen, but I did replace the camera glass and charging door on my S5 for like $5 in parts.

I’ve done the screen replacement once and batteries a couple of times. The screen was sourced from Amazon and it worked fine. I don’t think it matters much since most places will offer a free replacement if the screen you receive fails.
