Default Which oxygen sensor for long tubes?

I've tried to search, but can't seem to find my answer. On a 94/95 5.0, which Bosch oxygen sensor works with long tubes? The OE type (part #13127) or Universal type (part #15730)? Or does it even matter?

the stock type sensor will work just fine. just make sure that you either buy the wire extenders or extend the wires yourself which isnt difficult at all

There isn't a longer oxygen sensor that will still work with the Mustang pcm? I used to have an LS1 Camaro and when I put long tubes on it, you had to get the Corvette oxygen sensors (if you didn't want to use o2 extensions) because they were longer than the ones for the f-bodys. Is this the case with the Mustang? Is there a longer one out there that I could use in place of the OE one? I really hate to use extentions with the sensors. What about the Cobra R? I know I've seen different and possibly longer oxygen sensors with them. Could using one of them work? Thanks for all the help.

the universal ones require soldering into a connection as often times the universals don't come with the connector on the end. I would do the oe type and reroute wire harness when mine used to be fuel injected I lengthened the wire harness end and never had any problem.
