O2 Sensor

I am the owner of a 2008 JCW lotsc convertible. A year ago I replaced both O2 sensors. Not long after I started getting a code that the front bank heater was not functioning properly. I purchased some close out O2 sensors.
I have been told that the resistance can be just slightly off on non oem sensors.
What is the preferred brand sensors that have worked properly.
thanks
jim z

I was reading about this last night. The consensus seems to be to use NTK or genuine MINI. According to one of the online vendors, NTK is the OE supplier.
