Oil Control O-Rings - which are better?

Subject is the general question - I'm leaning towards just using the stock Mazda OEM O-rings on my build, because they are a well known entity and have a durability track record. But there are a few aftermarket options out there too, e.g., Atkins Viton rings, and similar Viton rings that can be sourced from McMaster-Carr and elsewhere.

Was curious on what the experienced builders are using and why? Pros & cons of using stock Mazda vs. a specific aftermarket alternative?
