FelPro vs. OEM gaskets

What are people’s thoughts and experiences on FelPro versus OEM gaskets? I am researching porting the plenum and runners of my 1989 5.0 liter TPI engine. I saw FelPro intake gasket sets for the 5.0 and 5.7 liter TPI engines for about $10. I saw some articles indicating FelPro gaskets are good.

i was about to ask the same question... are the felpro gaskets that much better than the oem, or about the same? i've got a whole kit of oem's i'll be putting on. used them before and pretty satisfied with them, but if felpro is better...
