Default Wheel cylinders

So the bleed screw went on my 95 civic should I spend the money on Honda oem wheel cylinders or just get a part store brand one?

Store brands are fine. I've seen some as cheap as 10$ with a lifetime warranty. Rebuilding them is VERY easy, there are two rubber boots, and two rubber seals and can be rebuilt with no special tools other than grease and your hands.

How do you get those rubber seals onto the pistons? I lubed
up the piston and the inner surface of the seal w/ brake fluid
and tried to stretch it w/ some needle nose pliers but to no
avail. I'm thinking that a method similar to mounting a
tire on a rim w/ a spoon is indicated.
