IMO more important than the gasket is the understanding that most gaskets compress for the first week or two of use, so retighten frequently during that time.

I don't like the copper gaskets. I never had any luck stopping leaks if I reused them. I buy the Jegs part number 720-5965.

Id go for copper. On my exhaust flange gasket (the one at the bottom of the header) I put in the black mr gasket "paper" one and it blew out within 6 hours. After that i put in a jegs copper one and its been perfect ever since.
