Default Genuine James' Gaskets

A friend gave me this top end gasket set just in time for my 103" project. What a guy! I've never used James' gaskets. My question is, are they any good? I've always used Cometic and never disappointed. I don't want to use them and have any leaks. Anywhere. I love wrenching on the bike, but I'm not in it to practice. I want to do it once and enjoy the ride.
So do I keep them, or scrap 'em for Cometic?
