Switched from parchment to silicone mats after a $45 cookie disaster

Used parchment paper for years. Last Christmas I baked 8 batches of cookies for a work party and three of them stuck to the paper because I grabbed cheap stuff from the dollar store. Had to throw out the whole batches and ran out of time to redo them. My coworker brought store bought cookies instead. Picked up two silicone mats the next day at Walmart for $12 each. First batch of chocolate chip cookies slid right off. Cleaning is way easier too. Anyone else have a parchment paper fail that made you switch?

Saw a baking blog say silicone mats warp over time, so I'm sticking with parchment.

Yeah but @wade_young86, I've had the same silicone mats for years and they're still flat as day one. Maybe it's the brand or heat, but mine haven't budged a bit.
