Always go Bosch. 55 years of wrenching and have never had a Bosch part that wasn’t top quality.
I like the R8 coils because they're cheap. At $20 per Bosch coil, you can throw an extra in the trunk without breaking bank. I did mine when my factory bolt downs went bad.
I did Oem plugs and Bosch coils. No problems so far.
I use the Bosch, and Ive been happy with them so far.
Bosch.
Never had issues with the Red Bosch ones I got from Shopdap.com But plugs, I preferred the NGK Ruthenium HX over the Laser Platinum, and Iridium-IX
I have ngk coils in mine and they've been fine for 50k+ miles.
I have used the 027 coil in a beetle with with points and the coil was getting hot. It was solved by using the 039 coil (Bosch grey).
Many aftermarket coils are completely out of spec and do not work well, some can even destroy the ECU. OE, Bosch, Temic are all good, I believe Beru is an OE manufacturer as well.
After only using the NGK coils for 2 days and when I went to switch them they were fried !!! Complete gone
