Gaskets

Can someone tell me the best gaskets for oil pan and valve covers? they have the cork gaskets on them now and I was thinking the rubber ones are better. Any answers and part numbers please.

I'm using Fel Pro one piece oil pan gasket and Earl's valve cover gaskets. I highly recommend both.

Used both, rubber seems nice with permitex, cork is great but don't over torque them. rubber will also move rather than crush like the cork if you over tighten them.

I have the Fel Pro one piece rubber for my oil pan. It leaks, I'm not impressed. Use some silicone or something if you buy one.
