Default Opinion on aftermarket re-ring project

Hey guys,
I have a d16z6 and it said 75k on the cluster of the car I pulled it from but am not sure if I should trust it. So I am rebuilding it. Everything looks great inside of the engine but I figured that I have it torn down, I might as well do a re-ring kit. I do not trust the master over haul kits online since they do not state what companies make what.

I then looked at majestic honda's prices and 27 bux for piston rings for 1 piston. That is a little out of my budget.
I am just going to do a stock engine rebuild. Standard piston rings and bearings. I have no fear in buying a felpro gasket set. I have rebuilt many engines with them and have awesome luck. Being a honda, I do not have a lot of experience with rebuilding them.
I have heard that sealed power is good and they make a rering kit for this engine but I have never used their products.
Who do you suggest for thrust washers, bearings, and rings?
I don't mind making my own kit!

Thanks!
