Replace TPS?

Hi,
installing a new throttle body today. Does it make sense to install a new throttle position sensor at the same time? It's probably the original one. If I do replace, the only ones available to me locally today are the Advance Auto Carquest premium or NAPA Proformer. Anyone familiar with the quality of eitger of these?
thanks

If you have OEM, and it's working as it should, it's better than those you mentioned.

I've messed up more times fixing things that weren't broke...

Thanks yardbird. I think that's what I'm going to do for now. If anything seems wonky with it later on, I'll look for a Motorcraft replacement.
