Coils help
anyone recommend another reliable brand other than motorcraft for coils? Not trying to be cheap but at about 55.00 per coil I'd like to try and find something else that's not junk. Replacing all 10

You get what you pay for
I understand that motorcraft would be the right way but damn expensive! I have a lot to do to the truck so anywhere I can save money would help!

Why are you replacing all 10 COPs? Typically they live very long lives and only need to be replaced individually when one proves to go bad.
Denso is the OEM manufacturer of the COPs for Ford, their part # 673-6000 is the EXACT same COP as the Motorcraft ones, if you peel the Denso sticker off the top the MC part # is right there. RockAuto should have them for $23-ish per.
Same thing with the plug boots and springs, Denso 671-0001 will give you an OEM set of 10.
And of course for plugs you will want 10 Motorcraft SP-479 plugs.
Most of us apply more torque to the new plugs than Ford calls for, the earlier design at 11 Ft/Lbs and the later 14 Ft/Lbs is pretty light.

Personally I went el cheapo with the ebay cops, plugs, and boots all one shot.
The price for everything was less than I would have paid for the plugs alone so the rest of the stuff was free the way I see it.
2 years and still running strong.

I was recently having some intermittent sputtering issues. Replaced all plugs and boots, with the parts recommended above by WE3ZS. Found one coil that had some obvious issues and replaced that with the Denso. No more sputtering now.
