There is just no right answer and even if it was, that right answer would change with time anyway as old suppliers disappear and new ones show and where car manufacturer find another place that can make something even cheaper.
Who knows, it could be saying Bosch on that AC Delco coil you have?
Just look at what I got yesterday ordering a Delphi made oem temp sensor for a Saab. It came in a AC Delco box and inside was a GM genuine box and sensor. $1.00 less than if I had bought the Saab genuine sensor from the same supplier.
If I replace one of the rear coils, I highly stress that it is a good idea to replace all of the rear ones due to the labor involved and all 6 spark plugs all depending on when the spark plugs were replaced last time.
The front coils can be dealt with on a case by case if the customer can't afford all.
Given that the cars are getting more and more sensitive and that the Bosch number have changed as well on the coils the car came with compared to the new ones, maybe it is safer to replace all with the same brand and number.
Long term affects of something is very hard to predict and you won't know the answer until damage is done and then you kick yourself that you didn't do more.
