I had not heard that about Bosch O2 sensors. I installed one about 6 months ago, and have not had any fault codes related to the O2 sensor or wiring problems.
The ecu uses the front O2 sensor to adjust the air/fuel mix. Aside from poor fuel economy, driving with a bad front O2 sensor might lead to reduced catalytic converter life. The rear O2 sensor is only used to monitor emissions, and has no effect on the car.
You can find a generic alternative to the Bosch sensor and splice it into the cable. Some come with crimp connector kits, and all are less expensive than the Saab sensors or the Bosch sensors. Any O2 sensor you buy today should last over 100k miles, unless it gets fouled by oil in the exhaust or something similar.
