Default Need new distributor - Should I get OEM or aftermarket?

Should I stick with genuine Honda parts for this one or can I grab an e-bay knock off? Any horror stories with after market distributors or is it a pretty safe bet? Obviously if $ wasn't an issue I'd just get the OEM part, but, I'd like to save a few bucks and get an after market one if they are just as good.

My current distributor has about 161k on it and the bearings are starting to make a lot of noise so I figure its time for a replacement.

Opinions?

Thanks.

Wow, that looks like a pretty good deal, especially since the Acura dealership wants 400+ for a complete distributor. Have you used one of these distributors before? Are they good quality?
