Gaskets, original, Athena, what would you recommend

Hello,
after a couple of hundred kilometers i´ve found the gasket of the alternator cover leaking some oil.
I changed it when I was checking the valve clearance earlier this year and probably I should have spent some more money in the original Honda gasket. I bought an Athena product instead, since i was always quite happy with these.
Normally I use a little sealant on the seams of the housing valves. Would you recommend the Honda parts rather than Athena and probably a different mounting procedure? Next time I want do do ist correctly.
Thanks and best wishes!
Joe
