Best source for 3bar sensor?

Calling around today looking to buy one and I'm finding that prices are all over the place. Where do you guys suggest buying the GM 3bar sensor (PN: 12223861) from?

I'll contact Frost, thanks.
But regarding this one... If it says GM original sensor, and all part number are on it, isn't it good and proven GM sensor?? The same GM sensor as any reputable shop sells?

The last few batches of Genuine GM sensors that I got (were GM) were made in China, and I had problems with them. The units I have on hand right now are not OEM GM sensors, but after looking at many different units, and carefully, they are physically and electrically the same as the original working units.
