Default Need TPS recommendation

Going to have to get a new TPS. Does anyone have any recommendation between BWD, Delco, Duralast or anything else? TIA.

I've always tried to put Delco parts on my car if I could. I'm starting to rethink that since I see so many Delco parts are now coming from China.

I recently bought a Delco air filter and it is not black around the edges like the old Delcos. It is orange, which is Fram's color...

3rd Gen maybe had someone recommend BWD but I also have a lot of Delco on the car. Again, like you, I am not sure it commands the $160 the dealer is asking compared to the $60 BWD part. Is Delco, Made In China that much superior?
