Which is the best ignition coil for an I6-250?

Gentlemen, I want to change out the ignition coil on my '66 C10 250. I am running the classic dizzy-point-condenser. I thought a coil is a coil is a coil. But when I go to RockAuto, there are coils from $10 and up and up. Now, I now that the $10 coil will be fine. But maybe I will get a 'better one?" Any comment would be appreciated.

Pimpston65, Thanks for responding. I was just surprised to see coils from $10 all the way up to like $30 for p&c set-ups.

cg285, Yes, I like Delco. But when I google Delco ignition coil I do not get any Delco items. I have to try again.
