Thanks!
What about this Denso unit? It costs substantially less.

Also, is it safe to only replace the one that’s throwing a trouble code or should both be replaced?

zray, normally I would agree with you, but I’m currently preparing to buy everything I need to rebuild the front suspension. Replacing both of those sensors would postpone the front suspension a few months.
20-30k miles could easily be 5 years from now with how often I drive it.

O2 sensors are HEAVILY monitored, so feel free to replace only the ones that fail. It is not really a "while you are there" situation. Replacing 2 sensors is just twice the work, and twice the $. Denso is fine.
Be triple sure you are ordering the right part. The upstream sensors are wideband, the downstream are narrowband. They work completely differently and are definitely not interchangeable. I had good luck removing my upstream sensor with a crowsfoot tool from the top.

Best of luck, keep us posted.

Just to confirm, I want the tool to be ⅜ inch socket?
