Glow plugs are not really branded as being "best" as it were as they are only on for a few seconds each time the engine is started from cold. Get some OEM ones or close replicas and you'll be fine.

Glow plugs are only activated in low temperature - a diesel engine produces enough heat to fire itself, once a diesel engine is running the only way to stop it is to cut off its air or fuel...

glow plugs just give it a bit of a helping hand in cold conditions
