Only damps when the the engine is running. So I guess it only helps when the motor's running. I'm sure every OEM car in the world installs them for no reason other than to increase their cost in the engine.

Stay OEM.  Proven track record, cheaper, guaranteed to have timing marks, and the other stuff has no proven performance value.

Yup a good way to get on my bad side is to  bring me a car with no timing marks.
