Which header gaskets to use?

Getting ready to install American Racing Headers on my 2014. They came with gaskets and I was wondering if that is most people ended using or is using new stock GM gaskets a better way to go. Headers are ceramic coated if that made a difference for whatever reason.

Thanks
Travis

I always have used OEM too. That was my gut reaction but thought I would ask. Thanks for the response.

I have not yet replaced the gaskets, but on the SBC in my boat I use the Remflex only. After years of anual leakage, the Remflex are in since some 5 years and I had the headers off three times with the same gasket. Amazing stuff !!
