Default Front brake caliper options

Mine are old and not modulating correctly on the left side and just plain need somefreshing.
Now, I've rebuilt lots of calipers and know what I'm doing, and thought about going to the dealer for some oem pistons and rebuild kit.

then, I thought, hey...I'm a busy guy...so why not maybe just buy some NAPA or Autozone rebuilt calipers.
This would be the easy button, and they run about 42 bucks a piece, so the price is similar.

My worry is how good will they be compared to oem honda parts?

anybody have an experience with this?
