Default Which coils?

I have read dang near every post on coils, but no one recommends a specific brand. I am looking to replace my coils, but got burned on some cheap ones. I don't want to spend 100.00 per coil. Any suggestions on a specific brand , web site or price?

Recommended are OE. They are Denso I believe.

But why not get a COP tester and see if they are OK.

Denso, Motorcraft (Ford) I have also heard good things about the Napa brand coil. (The higher end one)
