There are several different brands available. I personally just use the stock Diamond coils, but that's because I'm cheap. As far as stock replacement sized coils go, you can get MSD, Jacobs, Crane, pretty much any brand name. I don't know that there is much difference between the brands...
Why do you want to switch your coils out? If they haven't gone bad, your money would be better spent elsewhere, IMHO.

Ignition coils
Why do you think your coils are shot? Are you having a performance problem?
The stock diamond coils are sufficent for most applications. The jacobs coils are
also very good replacements, sell for about $45.00 each. Can also get used ones
from wrecking yard, they really don't fail very often.

2nd gen coil conversion.
coil - 15 bucks @ junk yard
install - 15 - 20 min max. ( most of that time trying to figure out where to pu it.)
Gain over stock - Hold on while mashing gas!
You don't have to move anything to do this, mount it on the strut tower. Right there on the side is a screw hole, get a screw and put it on.
For 15 bucks it is the best mod and cheaper than a new coil!

very easy to go 2nd gen coil, to agree with the above posts. Bought a second coil today at the yunkyard cause my first one was acting up. I had to run through the distributor for about a week again and greatly missed the power afforded by the direct fire. Make sure to also switch to 2nd gen leading plugs. They go right in to a 12a without any problems. My single diamond coil ran funny when firing these plugs, but good old direct fire is back in action.
