I ended up getting a brand new Bosch ignition coil from German Autoparts for around $160 shipped with a few other small parts. This was around November last year.
Pros: brand new

Stick with the Hitachi coils. I only had one fail in 80K miles on my car and 40k of that is BT.
Pros: one fail in 80K miles
Mileage: 128747 km
I had the snap in Bremi coils in my 2001 AWW and I replaced them with the Hitachi coils. It smoothed out my idle quite a bit.
Pros: smoothed out idle
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
anyway, my friend put one in his Toyota truck and it smoothed out his idle and boosted midrange
Pros: smoothed idle, boosted midrange
Vehicle:
Toyota
0,5l/100km less fuel consumption, consistent, and what is most important, my Golf was the only car that started by itself this winter at -30 C outside, among about 30 cars in our courtyard.
Pros: less fuel consumption, consistent
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I highly recommend this one: It gives probably the hottest spark out there, is a direct replacement to oem coil and is not expensive (~$30).
Pros: hottest spark, direct replacement
Cons: not expensive
Part number: 0 221 119 030
I put an msd blaster coil #8220 in my fox and it works fine... No ping and I also get better fuel mileage due to a hotter spark for a clean burn.
Pros: better fuel mileage, no ping
Part number: 8220
I have a 1776 and was running the pertronix with the bosch blue. Rebuilt the top half of the motor and now have a MSD coil (because it was the only one I could get on the weekend), and I have noticed no changes in engine performance.
Pros: no changes in performance
Yes, those coils are generally junk, with the Telefunken ones being the worst. The casing cracks near the output to the distributor causing it to arc.
Pros: coils generally junk
Cons: casing cracks, causing arc
