I had one replaced with an aftermarket glass on a 2006, fitment was good but the guy chipped the paint on the fender removing the moulding. Have to watch these guys!

Chances are you will get quoted with Chinese glass to keep costs reasonable, PPG north American glass will be much more expensive by comparison. Regardless of what glass you go with make sure they quote green tinted glass like the oem, definitely use a new Honda moulding as the aftermarket ones don't fit as well.
I used Speedy Autoglass, Chinese glass with oem green tint, new Honda moulding, worked well.

I think it is called green solar glass or the like. The glass people will know the exact name as long as you specify you want to match the oem tint. Good luck.
