O'reilly seems expensive, if it's random shit auto zone because its 3 minutes away. If it's anything that matters (ie starter, etc) NAPA, rock auto or the online ford stores
O'reilly is closest but I will drive extra mileage to Napa unless I'm on a time crunch. Rockauto or Amazon for things I can wait for.
All same distance so I go the one on my route.

Summit Racing if I am going to upgrade, living in NE Ohio has it's advantages. But if it's just misc stuff like light bulbs, or hoses and stuff it's NAPA or Advance Auto.
For fluids, car cleaning supplies, and wipers, I use Auto Zone. That's all I'll buy there.
I have learned through the years, to only by OEM Factory parts, for ALL my cars, not just the Shelby. Aftermarket parts are so shitty in quality, you just can't use them. Mail order saves money, but it's only factory for me!

Rock Auto, Pep Boys and Advanced Auto are the big 3 i use. Rock Auto because they have alot of parts that are not carried by local stores. The other two for fluids and such since its a 5 min drive plus they have deals on them.
Also, Amazon has some great prices on oil every once in a while. I use CamelCamelCamel and set a notification when it gets lower than a certain price to email me. Scored me 5x jugs of 5w-20 Mobil One for under $20 a jug. Same with suspension items - like the Ksport coilovers for the Elantra, which were less than $250 for a set that is worth $1000 from Ksport.

I do Auto Zone for batteries and Amazon for other stuff like oil, filters and parts.
Almost always Advance Auto. They are about a mile from me. I usually order my stuff online then go pick it up. There is ALWAYS a 20% off coupon on their site.
Walmart for oil and filter stuff.

Oriellys if I need fluids, grease ornsmall name brand parts they may have in stock.
Believe it or not, Amazon had always had OEM parts (Mororcraft or Blue box Ford) for less than even places like Rock Auto. Especially if you're a Prime member, it's a huge money saver. If you have the part number, pop it into Amazon and usually it shows up.

NAPA always has the shit I cant find anywhere else.
For a physical drive-and-buy location, Advanced Auto for general & Napa for anything I can't find at Advanced.
Online, wherever is cheapest.

As someone in the business
99% of what you buy at one, is the same brand at the other. Just go where the best price is.
I don't buy my parts local except for the basics. Rock Auto or Amazon usually

O’Reilly’s and Worldpac for the majority of what I need. Deal with all the parts stores on a daily basis and those two are my preferred businesses.

At the few dealers I've worked at we've always used NAPA for aftermarket parts (if customer is requesting aftermarket of course). Have had tons of bad luck using advance and auto zone stuff for some reason. Maybe it's hit or miss, I'm sure most of them use the same parts suppliers. We've also kind of narrowed down what aftermarket parts work and what doesn't last at all. For me, I use OEM parts for anything other than simple stuff that doesn't matter. For fluids, cleaning supplies or whatnot I typically use oreilly
I have seen people talking about counterfeits on amazon though, seemed to be a big deal with motorcraft ignition coils they were talking about
