Which gasket? Stock or paper?

I'm going to try and install my pacesetter LT's today. Should I re-use the stock header gasket or use the rubber/paper type one that came with my pacesetters? Or should I get a set or replacement stock?

the paper ones suckass, and if you ever want/need to take them off again, you'll be scraping gasket.

Re-use stock, or get a set of new GM stock replacements.

Hope your garage is heated. It is cold here in Chi-Town. Good luck with the install.
