Knock sensor

What is the best knock sensor to get?

Tried looking online for OEM, and I see Bosch listed as the OEM?

I am replacing mine because the wires are brittle and insulation is crumbling to the point i I don't mess with it, will likely have a short.

I am not particularly fond of Bosch, but if it is OEM...

I also saw some NTK which is the same as NGK and I am fond of them. However, they are way more expensive! I actually have NGK coil boots.

Looks like Bosch is actual OE.

Bosch is the OEM for Ford knock sensors and O2 sensors, probably some other components too. Bosch plugs are junk, they didn't even work right in my 1981 BMW 320i, had to put NGK's in it. I use Bosch Icon wiper blades, they are outstanding. It's like anything else - some good, some bad.
