Schraeder valve replacement

My system is empty at the moment and I'd like to replace the R134a Schraeder valves as a precaution. I see a bunch of sets on Amazon, but would happily order elsewhere or even better at my local NAPA if someone has a recommendation on what to buy.

FJC produces good quality Schrader valves (valve cores) and is an OE supplier. Be sure to install a new cap onto each port because the cap is the primary seal, not the valve core.

So I bought the FJC 2663 assortment which is normally $50 from JB Tools via Amazon. But they had one that had been returned. Normally, I don't do this, but the price was < $15 including shipping! So I took a chance... a couple of late-model GM cores were missing but everything else is there and looks perfect. So yay!
p.s. who buys something like this and then returns it after using two pieces? Lame.
