In my opinion Honda OEM would be the best choice if you are looking for quality and longevity, unless you are getting "Name brand" stuff. So I vote dealership or www.hondaautomotiveparts.com.

i used a ebay kit when building my motor and ended up having to replace most of them with oem because they were no where near the same quality and ended up leaking including the head gasket, save time and money by going oem the first time

If you do go eBay i would contact the seller and make sure that those gaskets are correct and good. EBay can be nice but yet again you get what you pay for my friend bought one and he got screwed because they gave him half of them were wrong.
