Default Which Denso O2 sensor to get?

The OE or the Universal?

The universal says
Universal 4 wire oxygen sensor, non flanged 7.83 in lead wire
and is $51.41

The OE says
4 wire Denso "first time fit" oxygen sensor, original equipment direct plug in, no wire cutting.
and is $71.85

Bosch 13111 Those run a little hotter and work better with LT's where the o2's are placed farther from the engine. I got away with reusing my old ones with my LT's, but when mine fail, I'll be getting these.

I understand everyone says to get Bosch. I was just curious about the Denso specifically.
I have TTS long tube headers. I was considering the Bosch, but interested in the Denso

You will want the first time fit if you want to plug in the sensor and walk away. The universal requires the end to be soldered and the length may not be what you are looking for, either too short or too long.
