OEM is the best quality on this one, and they seem to last longer.
Agreed!

Napa Super Stat. Robert Shaw is good too, if you can find one. Don't use a cheap thermostat. They don't open and close right and they won't last.
Dealer part is best. Stant Superstats are usually good, regular Stants are not. Robert Shaw were good but hard to find and now made in china.
motorad any good ?

OEM and Failsafe if it's an option and not the default.

Assuming it's a Camaro (or other GM product), a SuperStant or OEM would be your best bet. If there's any doubt whatsoever, stick with OEM.
For my 1990 Lincoln Town Car that I used to have, the Motorcraft was HALF the price of the Canadian Tire brand. Seeing a dealer undercut a major chain by that much is rare.
With my Audi 200 Turbo, the SuperStant is the wrong temperature, by a substantial margin, so I went with the OEM supplier, Wahler, for the correct temperature.

After my experiences with the Neon, I'd vote for a Fail-Safe thermostat over any OEM that goes shut upon failure.
Put a Motorad failsafe in my Mazda 626...It stuck open within a month or so after install. It did not stick open due to overheating...just got a bad one. Put an Altrom from Napa which looked exactly like the OEM and it has been fine since.
