Header Gasket Question

I'm getting Comptech headers installed, replacing my XS headers. For the XS I just re-used the stock gaskets. However for these CTs I want to get new gaskets just for peace of mind. I know I can just purchase OEM gaskets from the dealership, but I also took a look at rockauto.com. Here is what I found:



From what I've seen on Horsepower TV, Fel-Pro gaskets are pretty respected. However, the picture given for the gaskets looks off. I know they could've used a generic picture for it, but I even checked on Amazon and it's the same picture. Plus, the price is lower than even the ROL brand gaskets (which I've never heard of).

So...my question is, do you think I should get the Fel-Pros, the ROLs or OEMs?

FWIW, DC Sports doesn't supply the header gaskets either. I bought OEM - they were < $20 for the pair, from an Acura dealership.

When I installed my DC Sports headers, the installer wondered why I bought new gaskets, because the originals were in such great shape after 70k miles and 4 years.
