Starter - replace with ACDelco or Bosch ?

My starter takes a micro second to wake up and then turns the engine over.

At 220,000 miles it is time to replace it.

(I seem to remember the starter in my 1993 Bronco 5.8L E4OD failing at about these miles.)

At RockAuto I have these two options for new. So ACDelco or Bosch ?
(I assume that the Bosch is for the autotrans. but it does not actually say it in the description.)

Perfect! Mine is an Eddie Bauer 5.8L as well. Thank you.
Which would you select ACDelco or Bosch?

torq'ta 5 8 I will let you know how the ACDelco works out.
I also posted in the Electrical Subforum here and Dave F responded.
Dave is to electrical what Mark Kovalsky is to transmissions.
