Felpro head gasket & head bolts, junk?

Are Felpro HG and the accompanying gaskets and head bolts any good?

I likely have a HG replacement to do on my 94 22RE and the price on the Felpro gasket set and head bolts are pretty good. Is the quality good, or is it worth the extra $$$ for OEM parts?

Felpro makes a good product.

Don't know how it compares to the OEM.
