Default B16B valve cover gasket question

So my motor is leaking a little oils from the valve cover so I'm going to replace all the gaskets dealing with the valve cover. My question is would it be better to go to Honda for that or will a gasket kit from napa be good enough?

Any good name gasket company will be fine. Personally i think the only seals that you want to take a good company on would the the came gear seals. And be very carefull when putting them in. Ive used all different kinds and i think the best were evergreen automotive, which you can get a full kit off ebay for like 40 to 50 bucks. I bought timken cam seals that seemed better quality but they still leak a little bit.

Thank you man, I'll probably just save money from getting oem gaskets for the rest of my build. Also I'm going to keep the evergreen cam seals in mind once I build my head or they start to leak... What ever comes first
