Ford vs. Aftermarket

Just to satisfy my curiosity, I had wanted to pick all y'alls brains on what each one thinks Ford does a good job from the factory or have to go aftermarket to get it done right. However, I do think we would all agree the for the most part the gauges from the factory aren't up to snuff, so I don't think we need to go there, but what I'm wanting to know is what would you upgrade(not just for performance but just to make it better) and what you would leave alone. You don't necessarily need to change the whole thing, if for instance adding a deeper tranny pan would make it better then just mention that or something along those lines. Please keep it to something that is still streetable and more importantly you can still tow with the truck. Thanks for the info.
