Best place to replace key and Keyfob for 09 Malibu

I have an 09 Malibu and lost one set of the key and key fob. I can get a Dorman key fob that comes with a tool to program the new keyfob through the OBDII port for about $65. Hopefully it won't make the original key fob (that wasn't lost unusable). I can get a new transponder key made at WM made for $35.

Has anyone had experience with this issue? What would a dealer want for a new key, keyfob and the programming?

To follow up, I bought a transponder key online for $12, It had GM logo and '+' sign on key showing it was correct. Local Hectors cut it for $3.

Programming transponder key was easy as I still had 1 original. Use original to turn ignition to 'ON' position for 5 seconds, then turn off and remove original key. Within 5 seconds put new key in and turn to 'ON' position and it was programmed.
