Default Who makes the best valves

I have a 1991 D15b2 and want to know who makes the best valves for it.
Nobody is really saying much. I mean Manley, Crower, Skunk2 and Kibblewhite all have valves that will work. I am sure they all are going to say theirs flow better. Did I miss a manufacturer that might make them too? I don't think I want to go with stock Honda valves, many people I asked told me they don't flow very good at all.

I vote for the valves with the desired shape, size, and material to fit your application.

Unless your planning on extreme boost I say Honda. Remember stock valves bend aftermarket valves break which can cost some serious $

i'm using ferrea, but there is nothing wrong w/ stock if you're not over reving the motor.

yes i agree with using the OEM valves, unless boosting or reving really high above the stock redline. lighter valves for higher rpm use and SS valves for high boost applications. the OEM valves don't flow that badly.

i don't even know what companies make valves for the D15B2 motor, that are a "shelf item".
