Default 5th gen Accord suspension question

I am taking my Teins off and putting stock suspension back on. I had to cut the OEM struts off (15k miles ) due to the bottom bolt seizing in the bushing. I still have the front struts and was wondering whether i should just get 2 HONDA ones or go with KYB or some aftermarket set on ebay. I can get the HONDA nes for about $75 each, EBAY ones for $80/both and KYB for about $53 each.

Any suggestions?

If you are going to by new struts, replace all four. No need to by Honda struts. KYB are just find for the stock springs.
