Code P0116, couple questions

Howdy. The CEL came on a few days back, checked the code and got P0116 - Engine coolant temp - CKT Range/perf.
I cleared the code, and note the temperature gauge seems to be running low - about 1/5 or 1/4 up the gauge. I'm guessing the CEL will come back on soon.
I searched the board and found advice indicating to replace the thermostat. The instructions on fixmysaab look pretty straightforward.
My questions: Some posts made note of a coolant temperature sensor as the possible culprit. Any thoughts? Should I replace the thermostat first since it's fairly easy and inexpensive?
Next for the part. Eeuroparts has 3 options for "thermostat kits" which include the thermostat and the o ring. A Wahler or Calorstat at $10.60, and an OEM at $21.60. Are there any quality or ease of installation differences?
thanks,
jeff
