There have been a lot of threads on this topic in the PCM and External Engine forums. I suggest doing a search and reading some of the longer threads. They're full of info. One thing that comes through is that no one brand works for everybody.

If you think any particular sensor is going to be trouble
free and need no codes killed and so on, you'll end up
disappointed. I ran the NGK 'vette rear ones for a long
time and they worked but had some obvious heat
shortage, same is going to be true for the others. It
might help to work on the thermal problem more than
worry about brand. There's only so much heater power
to throw and only so much sensor surface to soot up
before they crap out.

Most guys will recommend denso corvette rears for a 2000 vette if you're searching for part numbers. The Bosch 13111 have mixed reviews for some reason. I haven't had any problems with them but would do with denso's if I had to do it again and had time to get them.

I vote denso. That's what I run now. Bosch only gave me problems. Giving out. Fouling the whole bank. Happens 3 times. Denso now and no problems

My vote is denso also. I burnt 2 sets of Bosch sensors up in less than 500 miles after my cam swap. I switched to denso sensors and it's been 8 months.

Been running The Bosch 13111 for years, worked mint and made it where I did not need O2 extensions.

Denso is the OEM manufacturer and they're inexpensive at Rockauto.com
