Any recommendations for good brand of O2 sensor?

I ask because of...
http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=362801

Dealer claims that use of regular/non-premo gas has probably caused my O2 sensor to go bad.

Maybe Nissan O2 sensors aren't the best - had 1 fail after a month, replaced for free and this was back in the day when I used premo a lot - so I wonder if I should look for Bosch sensors as replacements?

Any ideas?
TIA!

Yup Bosch are VERY good. I bought Standard automotive 02's and they were Bosch... very few companies make 02's for our cars.. other than that I would only guess Denso.

The Parts Guy At Our Local Nissan Dealership Told Me That Bosch Makes The Oxygen Sensors For Nissan Anyway. They Just Come In A Nissan Box. I Got All 3 Of My Oxygen Sensors Replaced Using Bosch Bought From Advance Auto Parts. Havant Had A Problem Yet.

I Wouldnt Be Surprised.nissan Uses A Ton Of Other Companies To Make Parts For Them Such As Bearings And Sensors. For Example Our Cam Sensors Are Made By Mitsubishi.
