Default OEM or Aftermarket Control arm for DD?

So.. bent the hell out of my front driver side control arm and snapped the radius arm and lower sway bar end link because I thought I was a racecar driver and ended up smashing into a ditch.. Ive tried looking all over HT for a thread concerning control arms and all that jazz but I either couldnt find a thread on it or maybe i wasnt looking hard enough. Anyways my point being.. I want to get the communities opinion on whether or not to get OEM replacements or Aftermarket for these parts, and if aftermarket.. what brands would you recommend. The only ones i really found were the Mevotech ones but im still doing some research and trying to find reviews on them to see how well they are. Thanks in advance!

i would get oem and just swap out the bushing for energy suspension ones. remember just because its cheaper doesnt always mean its better or the same as oem

A buddy of mine can hook me up with all the parts I need for $200 straight from a Honda dealership, seems like the best deal at the moment so I'm most likely going to go with that unless I can find a cheaper and still reliable deal somewhere else. But as always.. Thanks HT for the help/advice!
