You may find that the OE sensor is Hanshin, who also makes a lot of OE Nissan sensors and coil packs. In my experience, Hanshin brand parts seem to be more failure-prone than Hitachi and Denso. You may find that the cam sensor you remove is the later, metal type sensor that Nissan currently uses, whereas your part from Rockauto is the older, plastic-type sensor. I've seen original, metal-type sensor fails, as well, and my two Pathfinders have their original, plastic-type sensors with well over 200K miles on them, with the exception of the 2008's left bank cam sensor, which was replaced. I would go with the Hitachi's from Rockauto, as well, or NTK, but I've also had good luck with SMP-Intermotor sensors that were made in Japan.
