Lot's of forum discussions on Bosch vs Walker vs NTK.
I'd like to put another one out there.
I recently put in a Britpart/Allmakes 4x4. Works great out of the box.

- cost, $47 including shipping from Lucky 8
- Longer cord vs. Bosch or Walker so you are able to zip tie it to the brake lines on top of the frame vs. trying to reattach the connection on the bracket between the engine and transmission.
During my engine swap I removed the brackets that hold the upstream sensors to make it easier to mate the engine and transmission and it is very difficult to remove and replace the O2 sensor plugs onto the brackets.
You will be replacing those in a year. Edit: all the rubber pieces, wires etc, on the chinese/indian pieces crack after just a few months. Happened to all of my exterior sensors where I cheaped out and went with aftermarket.
They might be working now just fine but if in a year they fail again then you'll end up spending money for a BOSCH unit anyway. For me personally I prefer higher quality parts that will last longer and not need replacing prematurely.
