Default Injector recommendation

Ok, so I bought a 2000 f350 7.3 and it runs for a couple months and next thing I know I have 8 bad injectors... A little suspicious but anywho, I have seen everything from re manufactured to performance injectors. I was wondering if anybody has had previous experience with either and what should I put in there. It has 280k on it, top end rebuild about 30k ago, good compression, (415 to 480) and using pretty much as a work truck. Should I go ahead and spend a little more for the power or not push it and put re oem? thanks for thoughts.

How do you know they are bad?

If it was me and wanted it for work only I would go stock or maybe a little bigger but not very much.

Well the only reason I think they are bad is that I have to plug it in, even in 75+ degree weather just to get it to start, and then it takes a good bit to warm up and run normal. So I just assumed it were the injectors. It had sat up for about a year before I bought it. Am I wrong to think injectors?

I would scan it and do some testing to make sure its injectors. But to me it sounds like glow plugs and relay.
