Default Better VVT Seals ?

Has anyone found some VVT seals (part no. AJ82856) that hold up longer than the way-overpriced OEM version or the half-priced Motorcars Ltd. version for our 4.2 engines? Our OEM VVT seals were slightly leaking by early 2013. I replaced them with a couple of the Motorcars Ltd. seals and now those are leaking less than four years later. I know the engine heat constantly bakes these seals but I hope there's a more durable (and pliable) version out there somewhere. If you have experience with a better product, please chime in here....

I got mine from AutohausAZ. I paid $ 6.49 ea. The car I put them on hasn't been driven yet but with the couple of startups no leaking so far.
