Default Who Makes The Best Weatherstrip Kit?

Hello all. I am about to replace the weatherstripping on my '79. Who sells the best kit or are they all the same? I have looked at Ecklers, Zip, and Corvette America and they are all about the same price. Opinions? Thanks.

Lonestar corvette is new in the game. Looks really nice. Softer rubber than most of the others.

I used Dr. Rebuild. Perfect, like everything else I have bought from them.

There are allot of players in the weatherstrip business.
We sell two different kinds, a replacement which is manufactured by Corvette Rubber, (CRC) and we have a price matching policy so you don't have to worry about paying too much from one vendor to the other.
Then we have the reproduction which is Latex just like the original w/s that came on your car. It is noticeable softer then any other w/s out there.
