You should be able to go into closed loop quicker and stay in it longer at idle, with a HO2S. That said, normally only time to upgrade is when installing headers (due to the primaries cooling off and not retaining the heat that an exhaust log manifold will), otherwise a regular O2 sensor should be okay.
