Stock opti-Proven to last 100k miles and fairly reliable. But only if its an AC Delco replacement, not a auto store reman. Fairly cheap too! Also you have a 95 which is better because it is vented.

MSD-Not proven yet. Had some troubles when they first came out but they supposedly fixed it by replacing the o-ring with a gasket.

Accell-All I have heard is they are crap

MSD cap and rotor-While your there you may as well just replace the whole thing. IMHO just doing the cap and rotor on these cars is just a band aid for the inevitable. (This depend on mileage on opti too though)

Dynaspark-Proven to be a very good replacement but they are on backorder now and have been for the past 1-2 months!

LTCC/Delteq-Also proven but they need an already working opti to function correctly so if your opti is already bad then you will have to replace that too.

That being said I went with the MSD because I have a 94 and the stocker is NOT vented. I wanted a Dynaspark but their customer service is horrible and their product has been on backorder for way too long now.
