Which brand is the longest lasting most reliable slave cylinder to get when replacing the clutch?

OEM is the safest bet, but $100+

Never had a problem with LUK brand, around $40

If you expect the new clutch to last 150,000+ miles then the $80 or so difference doesn't cost that much more, like $8 a year

Yes, LUK did get contracted by Ford to make the OEM clutch parts, but to Ford specs
LUK makes their brand to their specs, but has to be a benefit to KNOW Fords spec when making theirs :)

Like Autolite makes Motorcraft spark plugs, which isn't completely true but technically correct, they are made at the same factories but Motorcraft is Fords specs, Autolite is its own specs
And I think Honeywell owns Autolite, along with Fram and Prestone brands
