Default OEM vs Denso air fuel sensor

Should I go with a Denso air fuel sensor part # 234-4048 or the OEM sensor part # 8946530430 for Bank 1 sensor 1? I've read that Denso makes the OEM sensor but are they exactly the same? I'm getting the CEL p0171 code. This is for a gs300. Thanks.

Look on the oem sensor and youll see "denso" clearly scribed onto it. Im running denso sensors no problems, way cheaper even with my employee discount at the dealer.

My mechanic cleared the code and it didn't come back on. I've been driving around for a few days with no CEL.
