The first step is to provide the glass shop with your VIN, so they can get you a windshield with correct features. On 2010 there was no HUD, but there is still a difference between the windshields for manual and automatic cars, because the latter have remote start.

The original windshield would have a GM logo on it. However, the OEM windshield is made by Pilkington. Replacements, even if purchased through a GM dealer, are marked Pilkington.

There are alternatives, but they will not all be of equal quality, and some will cost considerably less than the original. Personally, I can't stand windshields that are wavy or distort around the edges; they give me motion sickness.

I have replaced the windshield on my 2010 twice already, both times with the Pilkington glass. My experience with Safelight, on other cars, is that if you don't ask, you will get the cheapest available glass. Maybe that's particularly the case in states like mine where collision insurance is required to cover windshields without a deductible. If that's your situation and you want OEM, you will have to pay the difference. (Curiously, my insurance covered Pilkington the first time because the car was under 2 years old, Second time, I paid the difference.)
