My personal arsenal consists of;
Acdelco Optispark
NGK Vpower plugs
Custom made MSD wires

If you go through a discount GM dealer, you should be an=ble to get the oem opti for less than $400. Sometimes you can find a deal, try ebay, craigslist, etc. I believe shoebox has a list of discount GM dealers on www.shbox.com

If it is a complete (not just a cap and rotor) AC Delco or MSD optispark for that price than buy it.

A lot of the Import Houses will do anything to throw us off the fact that they are selling products made in China. There are even several out there that have U S in their name, and the only US connection there is, is the warehouse state side that they ship out of. Beware, Google search any Manufacturer you aren't sure about. If they don't state their products are made here then you can be sure that they aren't. Also, a lifetime warranty doesn't mean jack if you have to keep replacing the part. BTW I am still running the original Opti only with new Delco cap and rotor. Just changed it, car has 101,000 miles and it all still works great. Don't get any moisture or greasy finger prints on the rotor when changing it and all will be fine. Tested the coil and it is still within factory spec.

I had 157,000 miles in my original opti without a problem when I took her out of service. Either going with the MSD or Delco for the rebuild.
