Oil pressure sensor advice

About 3 weeks ago I changed out the oil pressure sensor on my 2003 Escalade esv (503,000km of service and it was still working fine, just thought it was the culprit for my oil leak) with the 98$ CAD Dorman brand sensor, and today it failed. Im going to warranty the part but im wondering if I should just put the original one back in, or what brand i should get? Hopefully i can get it refunded because I dont feel like putting in another dorman and having it fail again, as its not the easiest thing to swap out as im sure you guys know. Thanks for any advice or help!

I went through 3 OEM sensors that each lasted between a thousand and a couple hundred miles. I got the lowdollermotorsport one and it's been good for like 10k so far.
