Question Crankshaft Position Sensor

The local Chevy dealer says the 2001 SL1 CPS is discontinued. So, if I go to my Friendly Local Auto Parts Store FLAPS, is there a preference for which aftermarket brands are preferred, or maybe which should be avoided in general?

AC Delco $40
Dorman $30
Duralast $30
Walker $30
Generic $30 and $20
NTK $25
MasterPro $20

Understood.

Is it one of those "Ya get what you pay for" kind of things? I'd guess that AC Delco being a recognizable name and one that's been around a while they're proven and reliable, and they put the time and thus the cost into the QC that guarantees a better end product.

True?
