Default Spark plug boots

Hi, I'm changing my plugs and boots soon. I'm planning on using Motorcraft plugs since I've seen posts claiming that other plugs can cause engine damage over long term use.
What about the boots? Boots at my local Ford are $21.06 Ea.
NGK boots at Napa are $6.77 Ea.
Have any of you used the NGK or Duralast boots and compared the coil (or spring, not sure what it's called) inside the boot to the Motorcraft ones?
I'm guessing they probably both use same gauge wires.
Are the Motorcraft boots worth the price?

We've used the ones from Napa and had no problems with them. They were the Napa brand.

Well, depends on what Year and Motor you have, but rockauto.com has two brands that are under $35 for the set of 8 (for a 3V 5.4L)
