I can't offer an unbiased opinion here since i own Saisei. They are good quality pattern valves made to OEM spec, as are ones offered at higher price by other suppliers. I can say for certain that i had pattern valve fitted to my Z1-B two years ago and they work perfectly with no problems. I am confident that you would find the same.
You could of course get original or go for APE or Kibblewhite, all of which i can supply. Of course you take a considerable price hike for these. Only you will know how you use your bike and if the the extra cost is warranted for high performance parts.

Just checked price for originals - expect to pay around £450 a set

just make sure you get the right ones some have square cut colletts others are radius lock-ins.z-power have been selling some with square type early.and I don't think they have the colletts to match ,I had to get colletts from z1 ent
