I'm partial to OEM, but I'm interested to hear what others have to say.

I'll bite at it.

I don't think it matters too much. RA/Atkins/OEM are all valid options. The real issue is tuning. Any of those will fail without proper tuning. All of them will succeed with it.

So in short, I don't think it matters.

Mazdatrix swears by the stock seals. Last time I talked to them they said something like there 580hp motor runs fine on stock seals. All of the harder or super apex seals just cause more wear on the rotor housings.

Spend the extra money and get Mazda OEM seals.

I was goona go on a budget on it! but after looking at vendors like rotaryaviation, Atkinsrotary, Super Apex Seals I am now considering getting piece by piece stuff that I want for my rebuild. I guess in the it's cost more to put my own kit together, oh yeah I notice MazdaComp sell competition springs so thsoe are definite to get. I am not too crazy about Mazdatrix since they have dealt with Old School Rotary to me they have not really into the 3rd gen like Pettit Racing and Rx7.com.
Thanks for the input.
