Febi or OEM CV Boot? Which lasts longer?

OK, it looks like I'll have to replace my driver's side CV boot, and to do it soon. It's not an easy or cheap job, which is why I'd like this boot to last just as long, if not longer than the OEM one. So I'm given two options -- the OEM one or Febi. Which will last longer?

Thanks!

-Will

Just a guess but Febi are most likely better. Bilstein have that type of rep.

I just replaced mine with EMPI boots. They seem to be made of a much higher quality material than the OEM boots. I think the EMPI boots are made out of silicone. Bought mine from All German Autoparts in California.

Don't know anything about the Febi boots.
