Go with the Beru. I have the Beru on my Mini and have installed several with zero issues.

There's no evidence of the aftermarket coils being any better than OEM, in fact it has been the opposite. There is a higher rate of failure and problems with them over OEM, and many people who have tried them have actually switched back.

Most all the high power builds use the OEM coil, mine has lasted over 230k miles with no issues.
