Hooker sent me a set and bracket with the headers which looked like a decent set but I used Felpro gaskets which as you can expect were of good quality.

Hooker is good but like rclinton said Felpro is as well.
Never have had a problem with a Felpro product.

What Fel-Pro part number are you guys using?

I usually just use the Hooker gaskets too, but I have to order them every time I need to replace them and would rather get a set locally.

My neighbor suggested fel pro to me, as well. They were a bit costly compared to everything else, but as of yet, I have had no problems. Course, mine aren't hooker headers, they are summit...
