Engine thermostat recommendation

[RF_Burns]

What is the current recommendation for the engine thermostat on a 455?

My current thermostat is a 180F Robert Shaw (I believe). Seems like the Robert Shaw design is now made by FlowKooler?

From the GMCMI parts interchange, the Mr Gasket thermostats are getting poor reviews lately while older reviews are generally good so poor quality
control?

Stant SuperStat looks like it should be good, but was not recommended on the Forum in the searches I did.

Thanks

So the auto parts places in the local small town close at noon on Saturday, so I found a Stant SuperStat in stock at one store. I'll see how well that
works and report back.

To be honest, there is not going to be that noticeable difference.
Just like the water pumps, there is a difference.
When I'm on the road, I do not waste my time waiting for a exact part.
