Default Valve Seals (URGENT)

I going to replace my valve seals in my H22A 1993 engine, but the place I'm ordering from has two Brands : ARIA and NOK. There prices are $4.02 and $0.65 respectfully each. Which brand should I buy? My car is turbocharged. URGENT

So I guess some people still assumes that paying more for things is always better?

Yeah, my inside Honda parts guy told me to go with the cheaper ones stating they were just the same.........some unexplainable **** price deal.
The Acura dealer here wanted something like $5 a pop for them!!!!! Let's see, $80 for seals or $10.40 for the same thing?

You'd also be wrong, seals are exactly the same, I went with the cheaper seals on my build up and I'm fine.
