Factory replacement, they're pretty damn reliable. MSD makes nice looking stuff but I've personally had less than great experiences with their products in the past albeit with their 6A/6AL boxes on my 66 Mustang not the 00 GT. I've also seen a lot of negative feedback on MSD products over the years on some internet forums. Not to mention, the company has managed to go bankrupt.

Stock replacement is the way to go. I've had aftermarket COPs (I know they are not coil packs, just sayin...) on my 03 GT. They were good when I had a high boost fully built engine. But when the engine was stock, they ran like crap. And they didn't even last long. I threw them in the dumpster, literally. Stick with Ford packs.

I replaced my ignition parts when I bought the car. Same with all fluids, filters, ect..
WeaponX coils are excellent. Motorcraft coils are great and usually all that is needed.
