    I've never heard a bad comment about the aluminum gaskets. Made by Percy's I think.
    I've used the Mr Gasket copper ones without issues also.

    My Mr. Gasket coppers are leaking and I don't know why. I've tightened them down to no avail.

    I've heard lots of mixed reviews on Percys. Never ran them personally though.

    Felpro 1406's are pretty commonly used.
