Often times the inexpensive/universal ones will have just a wire lead coming out without the connecter, and you are expected to cut off the old one and splice it back on. I don't know about differences in accuracy/reading though.

the bosche ones are direct replacement

I don't trust Bosh sensors.. Honestly I would go to the dealer and get them or get one from somewhere that offers motorcraft parts. universal is never a good idea. even OEM replament ones that are a direct fit can cause issues. I would highly recomend paying the extra and getting them from motorcraft.

why

I have seen issues with them. Once on a caddy. once on a dodge truck, once on a jeep and once on an f150. By scoping the 02 I knew it was bad. got bosch sensors. a short time later the cars all came back with the same codes. After several tests I could only come up with the 02 was faulty (try explaining a brand new 02 sensor being faulty to your boss). But I threw a delco on the caddy jeep and dodge and a motorcraft on the F150... After that all was good.
