Apex Seals

I'm wondering whats been tried for apex seals, I'm thinking about rebuilding an engine and looking for an opinion on what to use.

I see there are a few different brands out there, but I'm looking for real life experience not claims.

Stick with OEM Mazda seals, nothing else.

The only thing to consider changing is FD side seal springs. And by "consider" I mean "extensively research and decide based on your intended application." Everything else - stick with OEM.
