OEM front spoiler - YES. OEM back spoiler - NO.
I love the look of the trunklid with the 3rd brake light forming a very subtle "spoiler lip" so I vote for no spoiler at all on the trunk. I love the spoiler on the trunklid of the BMW M5- it is just a little tiny ridge, nice and subtle.
And all too often I have seen cars loose speed on the track because of spoilers creating more drag than they could ever create downforce.
As mentioned above - it really is a personal decision, as long as you like it, then that is the way it must be!!!

I have the front & back spoilers, & the side strakes. All 3 are functional according to Honda. I wasn't to impressed w/the strakes at first, but they've grown on me. I like the looks of all 3 now & wouldn't have it any other way.

Hidden spoiler features revealed!
Just installed the OEM Honda rear spoiler over the weekend (which I got off ebay new for $200 btw
). One fringe benefit that I was happy to discover is that the rear spoiler stops my Muz tube from rolling off the back of the trunk if I'm too lazy to raise the top half way and walk around.
All in all, I'm very satisfied with the fit, look and build quality of this spoiler. Having had a very bad experience with Rieger aero components on my A4, I was pleased to find install was simple, secure and flush.

The stock rear spoiler was the ONLY option I requested when I bought the car. . . IMO, the car looks unfinished without one. . .
That being said, its truly a matter of personal preference. . .
Good luck.

My car didn't have any spoilers on it. Had the front bumper problem...bitched and complained enough to Honda. Gave me a deal $609 for all of OEM spoilers installed on my car. Really only wanted the front and rear. The side strakes grow on you. I like the way it looks. I would recommend all of spoilers if you can. Everyone has the front and rear spoiler or none, but I haven't seen too many S2K with all of the OEM spoilers.
IT IS UP TO YOU!
