Default Iginition system maintainence. OEM or Aftermarket?

I am fixing to replace my distributor cap and rotor button soon. I was wondering if it is best to go with OEM parts or are there comparable aftermarket items for a better price? It seems my dealerships prices are a little steep. It seems it is known that the stock plug wires are very good and I was wondering if the same goes with the other ignition components?

OEM OWNZ!! If it seems that dealer prices are a bit much, you can hit up Len here on the board who works at an Acura dealer and he can hook you up or you can try www.acuraautomotiveparts.org .

Frankly, I haven't seen or heard of "other" than OEM ignition parts for our cars.

Then again, I haven't tried NAPA or the like ...

I myself have seen three MSD ignitions fail on Hondas lately, Stick with OEM for time proven reliablitly.

OEM is good, it's really not that expensive I remember the distributor rotor and cap combined were like $30 or so.
