Ok, so my old one is stuck in the old log manifold that leaked like crazy, I got a header to replace the said manifold, and the sensor has 140K on it...

What's everyone's experience with these? will this work fine, or do the cheap ones crap out sooner? This part is from Bosch, so I think that I will just pick it up and try it out, to see how it goes. To me it seems that the plastic connector is what really makes the o2 sensors expensive, and that the ones withought it are ALL cheaper...

Don't waste your money buying that O2 sensor on eBay. You should be able to pick one up at Advance for the same price, without having to ship it.

I have been running the Bosch 1 wire Universal sensor for over 3 years now with no problems.

Last I looked at Advance we had 3 in stock for about that price. just ask for a part# 11027 oxygen sensor and you'll get what you see in that pic on ebay.

An O2 sensor is an O2 sensor is an O2 sensor...
Yes, they are all basically (i.e. functionally) the same.
Some like to argue that certain brands react faster...but does this really affect performance (i.e. gas mileage in closed-loop mode)?
Yes, you are paying for the end plug.

Luckily, the stock plug uses just a 0.250" spade connector for our cars.
