Default Best coil packs?

There are plenty of threads about using Bosch O2 sensors, but a search revealed no opinions about the best coil packs. They are a long ways in there, and I might as well use the best while replacing them. Opinions? Experience?

The best type of coil pack = one that works lol.

I've used non Bosch coil packs for years on D2's with no issues.

I bought Standard Motor Products' #UF-545 on Amazon $41.33 since they come with both coils.
I haven't installed them yet but people on the forum stated to use your old mount bracket. Apparently the new bracket that comes with coils doesn't fit correctly.

Thats a good point regarding the correct fitment on the bracket. I found out when doing a coil project getting few different packs. Its true its not direct fit that is why i had to off set the measurement to fit different packs. Thanks

What brand of coils do you recommend? I have a slight fault in minimum new spark plugs I have not put the cables yet but I wanted to take advantage and change the coils since it is not so friendly to remove them

I used Bosch and non-Bosch coil packs. Recently installed a new pair of Bosch as I find the quality (construction/materials/weight) better but to each his own. Overall, I'm headed back to more Bosch parts to eliminate compatibility issues.

If I have read here that the standard brand coil packs and that they are excellent, now I see some Bosch on the internet that do not have the yellow sticker and others have nothing
