I have used the cheap ones and they have been fine...

Just had to replace a cheap one after around 9 months so might be worth paying a bit extra

The 'genuine' Rover ones from Rimmers cost more, but tend to fit better- some of the cheap ones have to be filed to fit the hole in the hub, and also for the tip to sit at the right point on the reluctor ring at the back of the wheel bearing, although once this is done, they work OK.

I've had experience of the ones from Rimmer's and they are far from genuine

They are no better quality than the cheap ones, the last one didn't work at all.
So price doesn't guarantee that it'll be better than the cheaper ones which I have used in the past with no issues.
The TRW ones should be ok I've not had any problems with their parts, the quality is usually very good
