Collector Gaskets

What is the best type of 3 Hole Collector Flange Gasket to use on the market that has proven success. I have the orginal paper gasket, but I know they will leak, since I have them apart now I want to upgrade to the best possible sealing gasket avaliable.
Thanks: David

I know a guy who owns a muffler shop "back home" that makes collector fittings that require NO gaskets and will not leak. I'll check with my brother about getting a few sent to me and I'll post pics.

I'm using Mr Gasket (copperseal) embossed copper gaskets (they have a bead rolled into them around the hole) and they've been perfect for over two years.
I've also heard the Percy's aluminum ones are good, though more expensive.
