Default Remflex vs Percy's dead soft? What's your opinion?

I'm going to replace my Mr.Gasket Ultra Seals as there seems to be a leak in the back of my driver side flange. Which gasket do you all like more? Used to be all about the Percy's until recently I've been hearing all about Remflex. Which would compress more to seal any and all leaks off the head? That's all I'm really worried about.

1406s here too. Readily available, incredibly inexpensive, and very reliable. Haven't had a leak with them in 11 years.

Felpro's but where have you been hearing all about Remflex if you don't mind me asking?

I used the Percys on my Gen 1 motor and never had to buy another set.

Well here the last year all I've been hearing about on tech is remflex. But previously it was all about percys's. As for the felpro I'm just worried about a regular gasket not sealing the flange. I'm not worried about it blowing, I've never had one go bad on me.

I couldnt use the percy's on my setup, the D port holes were WAY to small for my heads. went to the 1406 and had plenty of room.

Felpros will seal fine. No gasket is going to fix untrue header flanges. My headers aren't 100% straight and they seal fine with 1406s.
