OEM Honda. Unless you have some crazy arrangment of mods, the Honda distributor products usually work the best.

OEM it up, you CAN get rebuilt ones from autozone and advance and the like, but i do not recommend, so many horror stories bout the dist going bad

They cause your flywheel to explode, ripping through your tranny and through the flywall. It will also cut your passenger-side seat causing it to decapitate you.

Terminals inside of the cap breaking. This happened to me once, 3AM driving home from my friends house. Freezing outside. As we were waiting for the light to turn green @ an intersection, the car suddenly dies, so we had to push it into a nearby parking lot. The next day I head over there, I checked EVERYTHING (almost), fuel, spark, cam timing, etc. We had it towed to a shop cuz I didn't know what the crap I was doing (looong time ago!) and all they did was put on a new cap and rotor. I felt like a moron.

Definitely use OEM Honda.

I hope that no one thought that I was serious. Just like shadow Templar said, I have heard of all kinds of things breaking in them. My distributor went out a while back and I purchased a 92-95 civic distributor to rebuild my h22a distributor. The shaft connected with the CYP sensor which I know is not supposed to happen.
