Oxygen Sensors...Brands?

Aight, well it's finally time to replace my oxygen sensors, and for all of you out there, which brand is the most reliable/failure free?

they are all pritty much good. no brand favorites. buy the cheapest ones. walker and bosch are probably the two most common. on doesnt fail more than others from what i hear.

if you do a search or if someone can post a link there is a site i think it was like oxygensensor .com or .net or .org or something - i couldnt find it.

i bought some from there and havent had any problems yet.

I replaced mine for the 1st time last year since I bought my car brand new in 98. One of the few things I had to do to the max.

Front left i can see by the radiator, but front right one i cant find because i can't look up there to see it. What is that in the way, a heat shield or something? Does it have to be removed?

Did you guys change the one on the y-pipe too? Or just the front ones? Is it really a PITA to get to those front ones?

anyone try BWD brand (Borg Warner) of O2 sensors?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-B...temZ8046681472

This is for rear but the same guy has BWD for fronts too. A while back, someone posted that this guy sold Bosch Universals, but when I checked again, they were all sold out, sent an email asking if they will have more in stock, but was checking out the ebay store and came across these....just wondering if anyone has any input.
