Front strut mounts replacement: OEM or Aftermarket?

My Yairs is nearing 140k miles and it's time to replace the struts and rear shocks. I bought TRD shocks, TRD springs, bushings, strut mounting plates, bearings and most of the other required hardware from Toyota. The last thing I need to buy before I complete the job is front strut mounts. KYB strut mounts are $39 at my local auto parts store or $98 from my local Toyota dealer.

I think deciding to go down the aftermarket or OEM parts route typically just comes down to personal preference, but figured I'd ask anyways. Personally, I'm leaning towards OEM since I drive over 35k miles a year and I want maximum reliability and cornering performance. I can’t have my car out of commission long and I don’t want to touch the suspension again anytime soon, but of course paying over double is insulting.

Anyways I know I’m over thinking this, but what are your thoughts?
