I prefer motorcraft for this kind of stuff. I went with motorcraft when I did mine and 99% of the electrical items like the multi switch, TFI and headlight switch to name a few. I don't doubt the off brands will work but they have a higher fail rate IMHO even right out of the box .

Agreed. Standard is decent stuff IMHO, but a Motorcraft switch from the dealer was 20 bucks last time I got one.
