they and any other OEM ballasts are much cleaner. Some brands show spikes but only a handful of extra volts over the supply (well filtered). I've never been able to disrupt a translator on the bench with an OEM ballast although there is a single case where it appears a customer had an issue with the 99 spec lights. All I can think is that this particular translator must have had a processor that was already a little unstable. (same reason processors are binned for stability with ranges sold as different clock speeds)
Long story short you should be fine, but if not, don't hesitate to let me know.
