Valve cover harnesses?

Does it matter which brand to get? I know sticking with motorcraft sensors are the way to go so just curious.

OEM for sure for longevity.
That said, I used a Dorman a few years ago in a pinch, ran it for over 2 years without any issues. I replaced just this last year with OEM when I did new injectors (among other things). It looked fine. I kept it to throw in the spare parts tote that I carry on trips.
I would totally avoid the Chinesium ones on Amazon though.

if OEM has lasted 30 years for many, why chance it on anything else
