Default new pacesetter gasket

hey i was hearing all these things about the pacestter gasket being junk, and then i gound one person mention theres came with a copper one, and everyone else didnt know anything about it. well my LT's came with a copper one as well, so is this one a good one? or do i still get the GM factory one? the gasket actually looks good but i was wondering if anyone else has recieved theres with a copper gasket and have used, or know if they are good?
-thanks

The newer copper gaskets are good. But, you can also reuse the stock gaskets and sell the copper ones.

I reused my 120k mile stock gaskets and they are holding up just fine.

I got the copper one back in June with my Pacesetters but I had already purchased the tried and true factory gaskets so I used them. The copper ones do look pretty good though.

just use your stock ones or buy some new stock ones and they will work perfect!

So we should have a poll as to whether we should
a. re-use stalker
b. use copper
c. buy new stalker
i dont know how to make a poll so if someone can make it happen, or we can just start posting our choice as we go
