Default Weatherstripping Recommendations

I'm restoring an 85 Coupe and want to redo all the weatherstripping while I have dry weather in my area. Apparently this is one of those parts where quality counts, so I'm hear to ask those with some knowledge.

1) What brand/etc would you say does the BEST weatherstripping kit for an early coupe?
2) What brand/etc would you say is the best VALUE (in case number 1 is just outrageous)?

This forum has been really helpful in this restore project. I've never been much of a car guy but the recommendations here have enabled me to do a lot of the work myself

Willcox and they have a sale on

use the willcox20 code to get 20% off

I do like the latex weatherstrips however they cracked within 2 years, they were from corvettecentral
I will get my next set from Willcox they fit great and last, they use CRC brand weatherstrips.

Wound up going with Wilcox as I had also heard they were decent. My wallet is lighter but the sale certainly helped.
