What's a reliable full gasket set that won't cost an arm and a leg?

So here in New Zealand our gasket sets are priced terribly. For example here's a head gasket set for about 250usd

HEAD GASKET SET - HONDA H22A DOHC 91-, DV340MT

I'm looking on ebay and I can get an entire gasket set including bearings and rings for 90usd. even once I pay 45 for shipping it's an incredible deal, even if I don't use the rings and bearings.

however I can't shake the feeling that I'm going about it wrong. Can anyone here recommend a place I can get a full gasket set of decent quality, shipped internationally, for a reasonable price?

Can't go wrong with OEM Honda stuff.

OEM Honda
Fel-Pro
Victor Reinz
KP Gasket
Ishino/Stone

I might be missing one but those are the only brands I'd even consider for gaskets on a Honda.

I rebuilt a d15b7 for practice and bought the full cheapo kit minus pistons for like $150, then sold it for that much, its been running in the dudes car for about 6 months now.. not sure how many miles but its his daily so they arent horrible for price i guess but I always assume its either hit or miss with cheap parts. If you just want to keep it running it might be worth it
