i noticed there are different levels of Bosch glow plugs. there is a "standard", a "premium", and a "duraterm"...listed in order of price from $12.95 to $23.95 each. which do you recommend? are the $23.95 ones worth the money? if so, why?

I ordered some today from fastlane and they were 16 something each. The other choices were not bosch so I cannot comment on them since I prefer Bosch.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but how did you hold the glow plug, and with what?
