Recommendations for COPs

A few years ago I replaced the COPs on my 1997 F150 5.4 Triton. By recommendation here on this site, I went with Global COPs off of ebay for a fairly reasonable price. I've seen many on here saying that the Globals are no longer recommended. I now have a 2002 F150 with 5.4, and was wondering what you all recommend these days for COPs. I had a plug blowout last week and just got that fixed, including a new COP that I picked up at Oreilly's auto parts as a "need it now" part so I could get it to the mechanic and get it done. But it made me think that I really need to get in and change out my plugs and COPs on this thing. Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

I'm running those Araparts COPS also. No complaints. ^

The quality is every bit what my OEM's are visually- omitting of course what lies encased and un-inspectable.

the Visteons were a good deal but it looks like the word got out and there in demand so there up near $300 a set now. I would do Motorcraft Visteon Off brand I'd use MSD with out a question. I'd stay away from Accell and Granitalli. Any set of coils that costs less then $100 its obvious the quality just isnt going to be there so they may work for years or they may not.

The Araparts owner is a member on the forum, so you would get good customer service if you have problems. Those are the only cheapies I'd use these days.

I've had no problems with ACCEL's for 2 years now, but you can never go wrong with motorcraft.
