I recently replaced mine, and went with the metal gaskets with rubber. Autozone part# 35635

Per recommendations of fellow tech members.

Yep get the GM gaskets, and blow out the w/p mount holes real good, they are blind (have no opening on the back side) so any fluid trapped behind a torqued bolt can crack the block!
