Look at the data sheet. If the PIV, current, and temp specs meet or exceed that of the original part (or you choose a replacement with the same number as the original), then it should be fine (in some applications above 60Hz switching speed counts).

Silicone rectifier diodes have been in mass production since at least the mid 60's....It is a mature technology that is kinda hard to botch. Any decent sized name that has been around a while should make quality product...If they did not meet datasheet specs they would be out of business in a New York minute.
