One additional benefit is that the Duralast Coils have a free replacement for life. FWIW I put about 4 coils on my old 2007 and never had one fail over the course of 5 years and ~50k miles.

Pros: free replacement, never failed, reliable
Vehicle: Honda Fit
Mileage: 80467 km

Duralast Ignition coil

I went to Autozone and purchased a set of Duralast Ignition coils for $300, swapped all 4 and the car idled as good as new. I don't know if the Duralast coils will last very long, but they do have a no questions asked lifetime warranty so I can just get them replaced everytime it goes out.

Pros: idled as good as new
Cons: longevity is unknown
Vehicle: Kia
Mileage: 108000 km
