OEM rebuild kit vs Atkins vs Other rebuilder kits

I was just wondering what is the best route to go when purchasing a rebuild kit?

Is it better to get a full OEM kit or jsut go with an Atkins or some other rebuild kit?

What are the pros and cons of going with a OEM 13brew rebuild kit?

IMO any rebuild kit will suffice, but i always go with OEM apex seals unless im going to push over 450hp

Either OEM or Atkins IMO

Unless your rebuilding it yourself, you should let your builder pick his own stuff. And yes OEM is fine for most people. Go OEM 3mm seals if you want a little extra piece of mind.
