Default band clamp

my last set of heads had a 3 bolt connection that leaked but my hookers are slip on so my question is about band clamps do i need a lap or butt joint clamp since one is like 5 more then the other, my headers are 3in OD so i'll be slipping a 3in ID over it, will a butt joint be good enough?

It will not be good enough. If the joint is slip fit you will need lap fit band clamps.
