Intercooler Boots

I am thinking of putting a Flo-Pro cold side intercooler pipe on my 6.4. Since I have had two boot failures previously(on ambulance-not personal truck) I am thinking of getting a new set of boots(to either install or carry as spare). Can anybody recommend a set, or which are better boots and why? Diesel Site boots or BD Diesel boots? Just the OEM lower boot is around $60. Or any other recommendations would be appreciated.

Even though these are on a 6.0 it does raise a concern http://https://www.ford-trucks.com/f...ite-boots.html

I personally don't know which is better. The ford boots are pricey, I just replaced one that was leaking on the turbo side.

I just used OEM.

Ive got the boots from the diesel site. Very nice boots and clamps. Gained 4 psi when i installed them. The stock boots tend to leak.
