Default New Weatherstripping for 85

I read quite a few posts on this issue but would just like some more opinions.

GM kit: $2,200
Willcox: $400 (don't know where it is made)
Ecklers: have 3 kits all for around $600. One I would assume is offshore, one is latex, and the other is rubber made in the US.

I would assume that the one from Ecklers that is made in the US would likely be the best way to go. Has anyone used the Ecklers weatherstripping and what luck did you have.

Before I jump in and order would just like to make sure that I get the best - do not want something cheap as I've found out over years of buying, low bid meeting spec is not always the best way to go.

Thanks

I replaced my weatherstripping with Eckler's about 14 months ago and so far all is good though I realize 14 months is not very long for judging overall quality.

Thanks for the info. Is latex weatherstripping better than the rubber?

I replaced all of my gaskets with the kit from Wilcox Corvette back in 2007 and i must say they all fit amazing.
