Default Weatherstrip replacement

Hi all, I am gonna replace all of the weatherstrip on my 88. I am a little confused on what to get. There seems to be a lot of different kits and prices out there. Can anyone recomend a paticular material or brand? I am not building a 100 point car, I just want it to not leak...

Wilcox seems to have the best stripping and at reasonable prices.

I would suggest them. I have bought from them and have been satisfied.
