Glow Plug????

With the cold weather here now in OH, the 7.3 is having a bit of trouble starting in the AM. Batteries have full charge, GPR checks good, having the tell tale white smoke at start up. Figure it's time for new glow plugs again. I put new ones in 2 years ago and did the 50 cent mod at that time. I'm thinking I used Bosch glow plugs the last time. My question being..... Is there one brand that out performs, lasts the longest? I remember reading here before to stay away for the autolites.

I kept hearing to use the Beru's from the Ford house so that's what I put in this weekend. I hope I get more than 2 years out of them though.

My thoughts too.... haven't checked them with a meter at the harness yet. I did check the GPR. It was good.
