New O2 Sensor from Autozone or Dealership

I am needing a new O2 sensor for my 2001 F150 (4.6 L ). Should I buy the generic one from Autozone or pay the extra bucks for one at the dealership
??

Thanks

Brent

Yep, both are made by Bosch. I have had no trouble with the ones from AutoZone.

When I was looking for mine IIRC, NAPA had either the rears or the fronts cheaper than anyone else and advanced auto had the other set the cheapest. One will be around $45 and the other $55, seems like the rears are more but I can't remember for sure.

The rears are probably more, because they hardly ever get replaced. More sales = lower cost.
