I've bought a lot of parts in the last five or so years, and I've learned that the easiest thing, for me, is to purchase from a shop that is a dealer for the manufacturer of the part or parts I want. Generally these shops know what parts, or combination of parts work best on cars. They know what fits, and what doesn't, and if there is a problem with the parts fitting, or breaking due to a manufacturing fault, these shops have a good relationship with the parts manufacturers and that relationship helps get things done in a more timely manner.
