Stick with the Factory AC Delco's. Never heard of them having issues and some of the other brands have gotten mixed opinions.

A wideband 02 is a seperate thing. You have to weld on a seperate bung onto the exhaust and than screw in the wideband and it will give you your engines a/f ratio reading through a guage that you have to buy. i would recommend the lc-m1 inovative standalone wideband atleast i think its lc-m1 but i could be wrong all i know is that inovative makes it its realy helpfull during tuneing since you dont need to go to a dyno to get your a/f corrected expecialy for n20.

Its a posibility is it blowing any smoke? or burning up allot of oil? it could be that you have to much fuel but do not take my word for it the only way to check is to get an a/f reading. for all i know it could be super lean but i dont know if that would cuase you to burn up o2's.

are you sure the o2's are at fault? Do you have a scanner on them? Throwing a code for them? I would confirm they are your problem before you go throwing money in for new ones.
