None are perfect and this applies especially to the door rubbers.
I have found in my own experience that the Rares rubbers work well.
However, there is skill required to fit rubber kits to a car.
I have seen some horrible attempts at doing this.

Have only tried one - an FC sedan kit from Bill Thompson Auto Rubbers in Vic.
I thought it was a good kit good overall.
Some components were in Rare Spares bags but I think this is common with many suppliers that sell full kits (I don't know if they source or supply, or a bit of both).
The lower section of the boot was a little tricky to get right.
The only real issue was with back window. I really battled to get the SS window moulds in place, and sit close enough for the joining centre slides to bridge the gap. The rubber profile felt to be too thick for the opening with the glass & moulds installed, but then the lack of experience on my part didn't help.
Experience counts, as Ken suggests. Draw on someone who has done a few to help out if you can. The extra hands & minds are a big advantage.
