Hey guys. So my Cherokee will be 1 yr old next month. Taking it for its 20k checkup now. Picked up a cabin air filter for them to change while they were at it and found out the part store gave me the wrong one and even though I paid for the “better” one, the one already there was a charcoal filter and the one they sold me was just plain paper. So it got me thinking, is there a certain site, either one of the big retailers or one more focused on Jeep parts, that you guys rely on for non-overpriced and quality parts that I may can order things like a good, correct size, cabin air filter from in the future?

Rockauto will give you great prices, but if they make a mistake and give you the wrong part, you can expect a hard time.
There are more important things than lowest price.
I've had the best success with just using the local parts stores (NAPA, Autozone) and occasionally Amazon. Never eBay. Too many counterfeits there.

I've had nothing but good experiences with them. I ordered 1 t-stat housing gasket once, along with a lot of other stuff, and they sent me 1 bag of 10 gaskets!!! And, I ordered a PCM for my old Cummins (nearly $600), put it in my truck, it didn't fix my issues, and I returned it, no questions asked. Of course I reapplied the "VOID" sticker tape over the plug as best I could so the VOID words that were left behind matched up to the tape, but still hahahahaha..... (you know, the VOID tape that when torn off leaves behind the words VOID, so they know if you used it)
New parts:
Amazon or rock auto. Amazon if it's a one item, since part price + free shipping is usually the better deal. Rock auto if I'm ordering several things since I can usually get a better overall price on a bunch of items.
Used parts:
Ebay. I have found a TON of used parts on there, body stuff, interior parts, etc.
