Default Exhaust Manifold (Header) Gasket: OEM or Fel-Pro?

Wanted to take a quick poll here, since I am preparing to remove and potentially replace the header gasket on my B18C. Do most people recommend OEM which is Nippon, or Fel-Pro?
Cost is basically the same, but just wanted to check if anyone has noticed that OEM is better.

OEM, they're 3 layer steel and never go bad. I've reused OEM manifold gaskets numerous times and never had one leak. Felpro on the other hand are normally a composite type gasket that blow out and fall apart.
