Default Valve cover gasket replacement brand

I'm going to replace my valve cover gasket soon and was wondering if there is a particular brand anyone recommends. Looking for something that's good quality, the genuine part from parts.com isn't very expensive, but if there are cheaper but just as good replacements, I'm all for it.

Agreed on the Fel Pro bit.
Check RockAuto, look on the net for a discount code.

Thanks for the tip guys.

The gasket set from RockAuto with shipping costs about the same as the set from O'Reilly's if I pick it up at the store. Only thing is the one on O'Reilly's website doesn't say if it's for the Vtec engine or not. Can you tell if it is?

Look at the part number.
If you looked up the part via Oreilly then you had to check off 'EX F22B1' for the engine. When looking at the Fel Pro gasket on Oreilly.com part number will be VS50493R. If it is that is for the VTEC B1 engine.
