Fel-Pro or OEM gaskets?

I know the general consensus on here is to use Fel-Pro head gaskets instead of OEM and I am just curious why. Is it a quality or cost issue or both?

The Fel-Pro conversion kit actually comes with the rear main seal. It's my understanding that he's had a few come back with rear main seal leaks and has switched over to using the OEM rear main seal. Based on his advice I too will be using an OEM rear main seal even though the Fel-Pro kit I have also contains a rear main seal.
