Default Oem vs Nappa wheel hub,bearing 98 gsr

Yeah, I called up Acura & Nappa for some prices. I know most will say oem. Acura gave me prices for a driver f hub $231.39, w b $152.82 & retaining clips for f $13.19 each/r $12.88. Nappa want $265 for whole kit w.b, hub & retaining clips f/r $10.49 each.
Now would you buy these parts from Nappa or Autozone if you had to choose after market. I love to get oem but having twin boys you can't spend like you want.

All advice appreciated

sorry gingas. It depends on the manufacturer/supplier of the parts coming from NAPA or autozone. Luckily when I had my integras, my local parts place used remanufacturers of OEM parts.

I would use Timken all day long, never go with cheap bearings, youll regret it later. Buy the parts on ebay and have a shop install them.
