Default Gasket Set

Hey guys, I am setting out to check my KDP this week, replace a water pump, and fix a few leaks on the front of my trusty ol' gal. I was wondering what gasket set I should use? I plan to replace all the front gaskets this week, and I might need some others for the rear later... I just need to clean it all up and see if its old fuel from the filter dripping, or oil.

So, what brand do y'all recommend? I have seen some guys say they use Fel-Pro, but I am one that would like to stick to OEM gaskets. Any pro's or con's to either? Is there a good place to get a whole kit?

Also, on the water pump... should I get one from Uh-Oh Zone, or should I spend the cash for OEM, or Napa... recommendations?

Thanks in advance guys!!!
Matt
