Header Gaskets

What are the best header gaskets I can buy? I know Fel-Pro is good and I think I remember hearing that copper gaskets work good. What are you all using and where is the cheapest place to buy them?

I'm using Earl's Pressure Master Gaskets on my headers. Great gaskets IMO.

Earl's for me. Lost three header bolts on the same side once after going to the track and had no leaks. Great gaskets.

Yeap. I'm still running my driver's side header leak free even though the last exhaust port has one of the old manifold bolts broken off inside of the head. Darn LT1 and its weak exhaust manifold bolts.

These are the D-port ones I bought from Summit. I'm not sure if the cast heads use a different exhaust port than your AL heads.
